   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) lschiff | Sep 24, 2023 |  Perhaps what I found the most interesting from a modern perspective was actually the politics. It was fascinating to realize that the things that the characters said about Bush (HW) and Clinton (Bill) strongly resemble the things that I've said about Bush (W) and Clinton (Hillary) and Trump and Obama, too, for that matter. And indeed, the protest wing of leftwing politics versus the run-for-office-wing versus the tear-your-hair-out-publicly wing have apparently always had the tension that is so apparent now. ( ) settingshadow | Aug 19, 2023 | The introduction is the best part, so even if you're a DTWOF veteran.... Sam asked me what I found so interesting about it. On one level it's just a sprawling soap-opera of epic and gay proportions, so as a human being of course I'm drawn to it. Another bit is that I share Bechdel's fascination with queer people and our little worlds and worldviews. She's so fucking smart. I want to meet her. ( ) caedocyon | May 8, 2023 | I think, as the stories moved from the earlier, younger days of love-seeking debauchery into suburban stability, I lost a bit of interest. I liked the characters back when they were desperate, when they were not as tightly woven as before, when the spark of their friendships was still shiny hot. I also think Mo's shtick of avoiding real-life conversation with political intellectual drivel, though hilarious, was overdone, and it showed toward the end as more and more characters ended up doing the same thing.

 It’s a fascinating, addictive soap opera, especially as the reader grows to know all of these surprising women. Watching them move from starting their lives into becoming parents and worrying about careers is almost a generational saga; it’s distinctly the story of a community.

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 friendsâ??academics, social workers, bookstore clerksâ??fall in and out of love, negotiate friendships, raise children, switch careers, and cope with aging parents. Bechdel fuses high and low cultureâ??from foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theoryâ??in a serial graphic narrative "suitable for humanists of all No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
