Veteran comics creators Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer have teamed up to tell this story through Highsmiths eyesreimagining the events that inspired her to write the story that would become a foundational piece of queer literature. Flung Out of Space opens with Pat begrudgingly writing low-brow comics. A drinker, a smoker, and a hater of life, Pat knows she can do better. Her brain churns with images of the great novel she could and should be writingwhat will eventually be Strangers on a Train which would later be adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. At the same time, Pat, a lesbian consumed with self-loathing, is in and out of conversion therapy, leaving a trail of sexual conquests and broken hearts in her wake. However, one of those very affairs and a chance encounter in a department store give Pat the idea for her soon-to-be beloved tale of homosexual love that was the first of its kindit gave the lesbian protagonists a happy ending. This is not just the story behind a classic queer book, but of a queer artist who was deeply flawed. Its a comic about what it was like to write comics in the 1950s, but also about what it means to be a writer at any time in history, struggling to find your voice."-- adapted from jacket flap. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 600 10 $a Highsmith, Patricia, $d 1921-1995 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbian authors $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 655 7 $a LGBTQ+ comics. $2 homoit 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Lesbian comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical comics. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Templer, Hannah, $e illustrator. 941 $a 12 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021536.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012340.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033155.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230425010500.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20221231011527.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20221104010622.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220802013758.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220702010820.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630015054.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220630010739.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220630010339.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220426010123.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A8B972EC52611EC906460AF4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
