¡A la Orden! – Prepare for pages of poop, puke, putas y playas (both types) when Mutual Paradise jefe Lizzee Solomon applies her grody graphics to the travelogue genre in this carnet de voyeur of a drunken beach vaycay in rural Colombia. Realness intermingles with feelsness, and it’s actually pretty educational. Cheaper than airfare! ~GS

*GRAPHIC NOVELS & TRADE PAPERBACKS*

Beverly by Nick Drnaso (D+Q) $21.95 – The modern lost souls of Beverly struggle with sexual anxieties that are just barely repressed and social insecurities that undermine every word they speak. Time passes, bodies change sizes, realities blur with fantasies, truths disintegrate, childhood comforts turn uncomfortable. Again and again, the civilized facades of Nick Drnaso’s pitch – perfect suburban landscapes crack in the face of violence and quiet brutality. ***DON’T MISS NICK DRNASO AT QUIMBY’S ON FEB 20TH WITH BRIAN CHIPPENDALE!***

Big Venerable: Stories by Matt Rowan $14.99

The Sleep Garden by Jim Krusoe (Tin House) $15.95 – In an underground apartment building called “the Burrow”–essentially purgatory?“twilight souls” inhabit the space between life and death. Interwoven with their stories are those of inhabitants of the living world: a retired sea captain, a psychotic former child actor (possibly the sea captain’s illegitimate son?), and the technicians who monitor the Burrow, making sure its occupants have a constant supply of oxygen and food. Through all of their stories, and the ways in which their lives, past and present, intertwine, Krusoe creates a poignant story about what constitutes a life, what remains when we die, and what we possibly carry with us into the next world.
