The Essential Dykes to Watch Out for

The Essential Dykes to Watch Out for Description

Settle in to this wittily illustrated soap opera (Bechdel calls it &half op-ed column and half endless serialized Victorian novel&) of the lives, loves, and politics of Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and the rest of the cast of cult-fav characters. Most of them are lesbians, living in a midsize American city that may or may not be Minneapolis. Bechdel&s brilliantly imagined countercultural band of friends&academics, social workers, bookstore clerks&fall in and out of love, negotiate friendships, raise children, switch careers, and cope with aging parents. Bechdel fuses high and low culture&from foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theory&in a serial graphic narrative &suitable for humanists of all persuasions.&
