IMPENDING BLINDNESS OF BILLIE SCOTT OVERSIZED ED
(W) Zoe Thorogood (A) Zoe Thorogood (CA) Various
Billie Scott is an artist. Her debut gallery exhibition opens in a few months. Within a fortnight she'll be completely blind. Zoe Thorogood's first graphic novel is a story about what it's like to get something you want, have it immediately taken away from you and then how you put it all back together again. Set in a world of people down on their luck from Middlesbrough to London, it's a graphic novel that speaks of post-austerity Britain and the problems facing those left behind.
