Huh. Well, that was strange, yet utterly familiar. Weird, yet intriguing!

One of DeForge's finest. Tender, strange, simultaneously biting and sympathetic. The drawings, as always, were incredible.

I guess I’m just not the biggest fan of his art or his narrative style. Interesting for sure, but maybe just not for me.

I bought this at the Last Bookstore and had no idea what it was about. The cover and shape of the book sold me. Wow, this really spoke to how I was feeling at this moment in my life and how horrified I've been about the state and trajectory of the world (and America specifically). Reading this after the Memory Police definitely made me feel hopeless and numb and didn't help my depression or brain fog but I really valued this piece of art. The art style was so cool and abstract and fit perfectly with the themes being discussed. There was so much well constructed social commentary and I loved trying to read into the subtext of certain scenes. It's hard for me to express why I love this so much but I do.
