Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder

Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder

This acclaimed graphic memoir that Kirkus calls "cathartic and uplifting" is the tale of losing a parent and what it feels like to grieve and to move forward.

"I can't recommend this kind, funny, and poignant memoir enough. It's an intimate, life-affirming story of resilience that feels like a good friend." -Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?

Tyler Feder had just white-knuckled her way through her first year of college when her super cool mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Now, with a decade of grief and nervous laughter under her belt, Tyler shares the story of that gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, extremely awkward time in her life-from her mom's first oncology appointment to her funeral through the beginning of facing reality as a motherless daughter. She shares the sting of loss that never goes away, the uncomfortable post-death firsts, and the deep-down, hard-to-talk-about feelings of the grieving process.

Dancing at the Pity Party is a frank and refreshingly funny look at what it's like to grieve-for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.

Tyler Feder is a Chicago-based illustrator whose work is inspired by strong emotions, feminism, and pop culture. Dancing at the Pity Party, her first solo book, is a graphic memoir about her incredibly cool mother's premature death. Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin's Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Taking Your Space was also illustrated by Tyler. Netflix, Comedy Central, and ESPN are among the freelance clients. Tyler is a feline lover. TylerFeder.com is where you can find her.
