The question of 2016 becomes deeply personal in James Sturm's riveting graphic novel Off Season, which charts one couple's divisive separation through the fall of 2016-during Bernie's loss to Hillary, Hillary's loss to Trump, and the disorienting months that followed. We see a father navigating life as a single parent and coping with the disintegration of a life-defining relationship. Amid the upheaval are 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, Off Season is unaffected and raw, steeped in the specificity of its time while speaking to a larger cultural moment. A truly human experience, Off Season 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 Slate, this expanded edition turns timely vignettes into a timeless, deeply affecting account of one family and their off season."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 2016 $v Pictorial works. 941 $a 6 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710045742.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062147.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012152.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190918034612.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190518010130.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190202011339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5121607226B811E994CCD44997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
