ALICE IN LEATHERLAND TP

(W) Iolanda Zanfardino (A) Elisa Romboli (CA) Elisa Romboli

"Meet Alice, a writer of children's books with a huge heart ... that is absolutely crushed when she discovers her girlfriend is cheating. The crisis inspires her to seek a new li FE, and perhaps a new love, in San Francisco. This romantic comedy, written by Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, who are a couple, is most assuredly for adults: The story depicts - sometimes with little left to the imagination - the ups and downs of casual sex." -The New York Times Alice, a young writer of children's story books, is hurtled out of her fairytale-like li FE when she discovers her girlfriend has been cheating on her! Charmingly defiant, she leaves her small forest town and leaps into a new adventure to seek love (and find herself) in the fast li FE of San Francisco. There, her concept of pure, magical love will be completely overturned--but her biggest challenge won't be reckoning with other people's sexual drive, it'll be getting a grip on her own! From your new favorite writer and artist team of Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, Alice In Leatherland is a comedy about sex and so, inevitably, about every other aspect of li FE, too. As Iolanda and Elisa describe the book: "Sex is recounted as a way to investigate our relationship with ourselves and others, with our bodies and our place in the world; sexual pleasure as self-affirmation and growth. There is room for Love, too, and bravery. And for many good laughs, that never hurts."
