Book Overview
The graphic novel Are You Listening? is an intimate and emotionally soaring story about friendship, grief, and healing from Eisner Award winner Tillie Walden.
Bea is on the run. And then, she runs into Lou. This chance encounter sends them on a journey through West Texas, where strange things follow them wherever they go. The landscape morphs into an unsettling world, a mysterious cat joins them, and they are haunted by a group of threatening men. To stay safe, Bea and Lou must trust each other as they are driven to confront buried truths. The two women share their stories of loss and heartbreak--and a startling revelation about sexual assault--culminating in an exquisite example of human connection. This magical realistic adventure from the celebrated comics creator of Spinning and On a Sunbeam will stay with readers long after the final gorgeously illustrated page. 2020 Eisner Award Winner, Best Graphic Album--NewA Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Book of 2019

Striking and enigmatic
Published by Faith , 4 years ago
I have never in my life seen such a beautifully colored comic. Yes, it's well-written and well-drawn, yes, the story itself is riveting - but what keeps me coming back to this comic is that third most important character. The colors take on a life of their own. I could not imagine the story without them. It is like seeing a master at work.
