"Funny, empathetic, easy to read and above all very intelligent..." -Julie Delporte, author of This Woman's Work In this unabashed and uncensored personal memoir, author Éloïse Marseille examines her sexual education (and miseducation), from a forbidden first kiss with a female best friend in Catholic school to her exposure to the extremes of online porn, fumbling hookups, and navigating the complexities of lust and love in the modern era. But most importantly of all, the author's nuanced relationship with her own body, sexuality, and self. A raw, hilarious, and deeply touching book, Naked: The Confessions of a Normal Woman makes a powerful case for a sexual politics that is open, demystified, and free of shame.

2023 Eisner Award Winner for Best Reality-Based WorkA NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEARA NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICENAMED A BOOK WE LOVED BY NPRFlung Out of Space is a graphic fictionalized account of infamous author Patricia Highsmith caught up in the longing and obsession that would inspire her groundbreaking work of queer fiction, The Price of Salt.New York Times bestselling author Grace Ellis and illustrator Hannah Templer have teamed up to tell Patricia Highsmith’s story through the author’s eyes—reimagining the events that inspired her to write The Price of Salt, the book that would become a foundational piece of queer literature. Flung Out of Space opens with Pat begrudgingly writing low-brow comics. A drinker, a smoker, and a hater of life, Pat knows she can do better. Her brain churns with images of the great novel she could and should be writing, what will eventually be Strangers on a Train, which would later be adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. At the same time, Pat, a lesbian consumed with self-loathing, is in and out of conversion therapy, leaving a trail of sexual conquests and broken hearts in her wake. However, one of those very affairs—and a chance encounter in a department store—give Pat the idea for her soon-to-be beloved tale of homosexual love that was the first of its kind: it gave the lesbian protagonists a happy ending. This is not just the story behind a classic queer book but also of a queer artist who was deeply flawed. It’s a comic about what it was like to write comics in the 1950s, but also about what it means to be a writer at any time in history, struggling to find your voice. Author Grace Ellis contextualizes Patricia Highsmith as both an unintentional queer icon and a figure whose problematic views and noted antisemitism have cemented her controversial legacy. Highsmith’s life imitated her art with results as devastating as the plot twists that brought her fame and fortune. This updated paperback edition of Flung Out of Space includes sixteen pages of bonus content with in-depth visual development materials and a teaching guide.

Mafiabosser er slyngler som vi har meget lidt sympati for, og vi synes nok allesammen at de hører hjemme i et fængsel. Til gengæld er det vel også logisk at de forsøger at stikke af og fordufte, tilbage til deres skumle netværk og lyssky erhverv. I denne næsten virkelighedstro historie stikker mafiabossen af gang på gang, og agent Flip og agent Flop gør deres bedste for at anholde ham. Hertil kommer en strid med en agent fra den konkurrerende efterretningstjeneste. Sammen med ham og den hjertevarme og menneskekloge (!) generaldirektør, professoren og den let antændelige frøken Sisse kommer Flip og Flop vidt omkring, til Flodhesteslettens savanne i Afrika og til emirens palads i Bagdad. Bliver det Flip og Flop eller den konkurrerende agent der løber af med sejren? Læs selv

A portrait of flourishing desire in a body ever-changingAs she examines her life experience and traumas with great care, Delporte faces the questions about gender and sexuality that both haunt and entice her. Deeply informed by her personal relationships as much as queer art and theory, Portrait of a Body is both a joyous and at times hard meditation on embodiment-a journey to be reunited with the self in an attempt to heal pain and live more authentically.Delporte's idyllic colored pencil drawings contrast with the near urgency that structures her confessional memoir. Each page is laden with revelation and enveloped in organic, natural shapes-rocks, flowers, intertwined bodies, women's hair blowing in the wind-captured with devotion. The vitality of these forms interspersed with Delporte's flowing handwriting hold space for her vivid and affecting observations.Skillfully translated by Helge Dascher and Karen Houle, Portrait of a Body provokes us to remain open to the lessons our bodies have on offer.
