Is it possible to find solace in the power of chosen family, underground art collectives, and ultimately revolution?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSet in Beirut, Lebanon, a city once known to be a vibrant cultural center of the region. It's 30 years after the end of the civil war, and a few months before the disastrous explosion of August 2020. Samar, a young queer comic book artist, wanders between anguished dreams, childhood memories, romantic experiences, and Beirut’s alternative communities. This abstractly autobiographical story tells of the author's anxiety over living in a complex city of changing colors and moods. Three powerful themes: art, sex, and political uprising, are interwoven in a compelling narrative and an otherworldly color palette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Kai","offers":[{"title":"Street Noise Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-09-29","offer_id":44230083313919,"sku":"9781951491215","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ad2502c6-fa4e-4176-8911-e761798f7da2.jpg?v=1693003620","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781951491215","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
