From 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?

From 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 is she supposed to sit here writing a book when the world hangs on a thread?

In this hilariously skewering comic novel, Alison is existentially irked 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. Why couldn`t she be the writer for a wildly popular reality TV series which shows people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!
