The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For

Alison Bechdel
4.44/5 (12181 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
From the author of Fun Home -- the lives, loves, and politics
of cult fav characters Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger,
Stuart, Clarice, and others

For twenty-five years Bechdel's path-breaking Dykes to Watch Out For
strip has been collected in award-winning volumes (with a quarter of
a million copies in print), syndicated in fifty alternative newspapers, and
translated into many languages. 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."
