The Essential Dykes to Watch Out for by Alison Bechdel
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 Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and the rest of the cast of cult-fav characters. Most of them are lesbians, living in a midsize American city that may or may not be Minneapolis. Bechdel's 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.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 Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and the rest of the cast of cult-fav characters.

Alison Bechdel's early comic strip Dykes to Look Out For spawned a cult following that grew exponentially with her family memoirs, including the best-selling graphic memoir Fun Home, which was transformed into a Tony Award-winning musical, and Are You My Mother? In 2021, her new memoir, The Secret to Superman Strength, will be released.
