Now, at last, The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For gathers a "rich, funny, deep and impossible to put down" (Publishers Weekly) selection from all eleven Dykes volumes. Here too are sixty of the newest strips, never before published in book form. 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 a cast of characters, most of them lesbian, living in a midsize American city that may or may not be Minneapolis. Her 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." 3222860 4 11 2008 The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For total:356|5:202|4:124|3:29|2:0|1:1| 356 1594 550 93 5 6 false false Sat Jan 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 25 10:21:37 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 24 13:53:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Dec 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 07:57:55 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 07:36:03 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Nov 29 14:12:31 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 14:12:39 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Oct 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 09:32:57 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 16 07:13:23 -0800 2009 processing an anger directed at my gender (i.e. me) simply for having been born a male.
