Beskrivelse
'The funniest, most satirical cartoon she has ever written as well as, perhaps, the most prescient' OBSERVER'Very funny and self-hating in a good way' ZADIE SMITHFrom her pygmy goat farm in Vermont, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathing memoir about her own greed and privilege?But how can she just sit around writing a book when the world is hanging on a thread?In this hilariously skewering comic novel, Alison is existentially pained by a climate-challenged world and a country on the brink of civil war.Her first graphic memoir about growing up with her taxidermist father has been adapted into a highly successful TV series, Death and Taxidermy. It s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the cultural margins, the envy of her friend group.As the TV show racks up Emmy after Emmy, Alison s own envy spirals. Surely writing her own wildly popular reality TV series wouldn t be that hard? One that shows people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!In Spent, the celebrated, bestselling author of the modern classic Fun Home presents a laugh-out-loud and passionately political work of autofiction, and once again proves that nobody does it better (New York Times) than the real Alison Bechdel.
