€17.95
Heard the one about the dying father? In this graphic novel by slam poet Daphne Gottlieb (`Final Girl’) and `Hothead Paisan’ creator Diane DiMassa, a 19-year-old woman named Sasha loses her father to cancer and takes a job in the hospital where he had worked as a doctor. Moving from room to room with her clipboard of forms, Sasha encounters the insane, the suicidal, and the brave’ then returns to her office to look up all her friends’ and enemies’ medical records. Taking its title from Freud’s `Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious’, Gottlieb and DiMassa’s first collaboration is both moving and darkly funny. Where comedy meets chemo, where mirth meets mortality, `Jokes and the Unconscious’ explores the murky terrain of grief a shadowland of memory, sexual escape, and morbid snickering.
