How to Be Alive - Tara Booth is our Graphic Novel Pick of the Day
April 4, 2020
Even as an exclusively online business, the heart and soul of our store remains comics/graphic novels/cartoons!
Yesterday, we featured Disa Wallander's Becoming Horses. Today we're featuring Tara Booth's How To Be Alive!
Although Booth's book was not written about the current moment we are living through, it is extremely prescient.
It chronicles someone who spends their time at home alone. Coping mechanisms (to being alone), ways to deal with anxieties, and ways to care for ourselves are all themes.
Although the book is called How to Be Alive, it could have easily been called How to Be Alone.
It features so many of things so many of us are doing right now in isolation.
Cooking (simple meals). Cutting our hair.
Exercising alone at home. Crying.
Booth's storytelling is colourful and honest and we hope it can bring you a smile.
