Drinking at the Movies (2010, Julia Wertz, Three Rivers Press, First Edition). Don't worry - this isn't the typical redemptive coming-of-age tale of a young woman and her glorious triumph over tragedy or any such nonsense. It's simply a hilarious - occasionally poignant - book filled with interesting art, absurd humor and plenty of amusing self-deprecation. From the back cover: "In her first full-length graphic memoir, Julie Wertz (Creator of the Cult-Hit comic The Fart Party) documents the year she left San Francisco for the unfamiliar streets of New York. Don't worry - this isn't the typical redemptive coming-of-age tale of a young woman and her glorious triumph over tragedy or any such nonsense. It's simply a hilarious - occasionally poignant - book filled with interesting art, absurd humor and plenty of amusing self-deprecation. Box by box, Wertz chronicles four sketchy apartments, seven terrible jobs, family drama, traveling fiascos, and too many whiskey bottles to count."
