Alison tells the story of a young British woman who, in her twenties, seizes upon the opportunity to escape from her quiet life in Dorset to the thrumming art scene of late-1970s London. But the vehicle for her escape is a charismatic older man whose reputation as an artist and philanderer casts a shadow which will follow Alison for years as she pursues her painting career. Combining immaculate prose and stunning artwork, Alison is a complex love and coming-of-age story, as well as a meditation on female friendship and empowerment, class and patriarchy, the creative process and the thorny world of fine art. British illustrator and author Lizzy Stewart crafts a graphic novel that evokes the atmospheric milieu of bohemian London in the late 20th century, while at the same time exploring the more universal struggles of women who must navigate male-dominated spaces."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Painters $z London $z London $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z England. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802013018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FA9215630FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
