In this savagely brilliant graphic novel by slam poet Daphne Gottlieb (\u003ci\u003eFinal Girl\u003c\/i\u003e) and Hothead Paisan creator Diane DiMassa, a 19-year-old woman named Sasha loses her father to cancer and takes a job in the hospital where he had worked as a doctor. Moving from room to room with her clipboard of forms, Sasha encounters the insane, the suicidal, and the brave -- then returns to her office to look up all her friends' and enemies' medical records. Taking its title from \u003ci\u003eFreud's Jokes\u003c\/i\u003e and their \u003ci\u003eRelation to the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e, Gottlieb and DiMassa's first collaboration is both moving and darkly funny. Where comedy meets chemo, where mirth meets mortality, \u003ci\u003eJokes and the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e explores the murky terrain of grief -- a shadowland of memory, sexual escape, and morbid snickering.","brand":"Cleis Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46975406342399,"sku":"9781573442503","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_3502330a-d24b-421b-ab64-324be65ce917.jpg?v=1765301272","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781573442503","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
