Drinking at the Movies | Julia Wertz, Janeane Garofalo
13 posts | 13 read | 27 to read
Representing Julia Wertz's critically acclaimed first graphic memoir in a new format, with a brand new sketchbook from Wertz, and an introduction by Janeane Garofalo. But don't worry; we haven't replaced any of the wrenching and ribald, whiskey-soaked coming-of-age tale. This is Wertz at her best, which is sometimes her worst. Julia Wertzlives and works in Brooklyn. She is the author of the autobiographic comic booksThe Fart Party Vols. 1 and 2(Atomic Books, 2007, 2009). Both volumes were collected asMuseum of Mistakesin 2014,Drinking at the Movies(Random House, 2010) andThe Infinite Wait and Other Stories(Koyama Press, 2012).

“It appears she prefers the company of books and movies to that of other human beings”

Basically what people probably think when they walk into my house as well.

This was sweet and hilarious. It was the perfect companion on a long, rainy drive home. I LOL'd so many times.

Hahahahaha. Riding home after a weekend away with girlfriends summary: rain causing driver stress, one passenger has puked into a bag, other two passengers are chatting. I'm reading and laughing out loud every time I turn a page. #readingontheroad

The covers were so different I didn't realize I had gotten two copies of the same book!

Which one do you like better?

Really enjoyed this autobiographical comic about moving cross-country for the first time and slowly coming to terms with adulthood -- and alcoholism. Wertz's cityscapes are particularly noteworthy. Highly recommended!

becausekafka Liked the new article. Here, have some Litfluence! 🙃 8y
