NEW YORKER BEST BOOKS WE’VE READ IN 2023? A gorgeously illustrated and written debut graphic memoir about belonging- identity- and making a home in the remote American West- by New Yorker cartoonist Navied Mahdavian.Before Navied Mahdavian moved with his wife and dog in November of 2016 from San Francisco to an off-the-grid cabin in rural Idaho- he had never fished- gardened- hiked- hunted- or lived in a snowy place. But there- he could own land- realize his dream of being an artist- and start a family. Over the next three years- Mahdavian leaned into the wonders of the natural Idaho landscape and found himself adjusting to and enjoying a slower pace of living. But beyond the boundaries of his six acres- he was confronted with the realities of America’s political shifts and forced to confront the question: Do I belong here?Mahdavian’s beautifully written and unflinchingly honest graphic memoir charts his growth and struggles as an artist- citizen- and new father. It celebrates his love of place and honors the relationships he makes in rural America- touching on dynamics like culture- environment- and identity in America- and even articulating difficult moments of racism and brutality he found there as a Middle Eastern American. With wit- compassion- and a sense of humor- Mahdavian’s insider perspective offers a unique portrait of one of the most remote and wild areas of the American West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHRONICLE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506594975806,"sku":"9781797223674","price":23.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/174765-hr.jpg?v=1772032233","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/9781797223674","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
