The question of 2016 becomes deeply personal in James Sturm’s riveting graphic novel \u003ci\u003eOff Season\u003c\/i\u003e, which charts one couple’s divisive separation during Bernie Sanders’s loss to Hillary Clinton, Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump, and the disorienting months that followed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe see a father navigating life as a single parent and coping with the disintegration of a life-defining relationship. Amid the upheaval lie tender moments with his kids—a sleeping child being carried in from the car, Christmas-morning anticipation, a late-night cookie after a temper tantrum—and fallible humans drenched in palpable feelings of grief, rage, loss, and overwhelming love. Using anthropomorphized characters as a tactic for tempering an otherwise emotionally fraught situation, \u003ci\u003eOff Season\u003c\/i\u003e is unaffected and raw, steeped in the specificity of its time while speaking to a larger cultural moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA truly human experience, \u003ci\u003eOff Season\u003c\/i\u003e displays Sturm’s masterful pacing and storytelling combined with conscious and confident growth as the celebrated cartoonist and educator moves away from historical fiction to deliver this long-form narrative set in contemporary times. Originally serialized on \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, this expanded edition turns timely vignettes into a timeless, deeply affecting account of one family and their off season.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49159706312959,"sku":"9781770463318","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781770463318","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
