The Alcoholic (Hardcover)

Novelist Jonathan Ames`s writing matches perfectly with comic-artist Dean Haspiel`s black-and-white illustrations in this outrageous, hilarious, political, raunchy, and confessional graphic novel. The protagonist, Jonathan A., struggles with life after 9/11; flashes back to boyhood sexual awakenings--including a repressed homosexual encounter with a friend, and a scandalous affair with a much older woman; and meets Monica Lewinsky. Mere plot description cannot quite capture the frenzied joy and jaded humor of this marvelous collaboration. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
