Fighting on after a dozen deaths and other losses, the renowned cartoonist Carol Tyler returns from the depths of grief with a masterpiece that combines decades-spanning memoir with incredible allegorical imagery, spinning a world of anguish and recovery in fine-detailed brush lines.

In the wake of losing her husband of four decades, estrangement from her daughter, and a string of other deaths, Carol Tyler
descended into grief. Being an artist by vocation, she transformed her grief in the only way she could: through artistic expression. Exploring realms metaphorical, half-imagined, and all-too real, she processes her loss and distress through dissociations and hard work alike and combines the two into a magnum opus of aching art. Tyler explores not just her grief, but our grief, and the idea of grieving in a work that is both painfully intimate and philosophically rich.
