The 'Why Art?' creator talks about her intimate and complicated new graphic novel, and the connection between the personal and the political.
talked to the cartoonist and illustrator about the title, its origins, and how it feels to put such a personal work out into the public sphere.The Hard Tomorrow
Yeah. The book is intensely personal and intensely autobiographical, but the details are very different. It's like if I took everything about my life and then kind of snipped it up into pieces and rearranged it and remixed it. So Hannah isn't really me, but she has a lot of aspects of her life, a lot of shared experiences with my life, and she has a lot of aspects [and] personality traits with myself.
Thank you. I see a lot of people describe it as a dystopia, and I'm like, what? That's now. It's not very different from now. The future is going to have a tremendous amount of pain and loss, and it would have a tremendous amount of pain and loss in it no matter what happens. You know, there's no purely happy endings. And wanting that would be childish. It's dishonest.
It's such a complicated situation because, you know, neither Hannah or Gabby are doing anything, quote unquote, wrong. It's not a relationship that can continue the way that it was going. I keep going like the idea of this book being complicated, and offering no easy answers, which is one of the things that I loved so much about it. Hannah and Gabby feel really central to the ambiguity of the book.
So, Johnny's arc — I was really proud of Johnny. I like him very much. But in the end, the really brave thing that he did — he did two really, really, really brave things. And they were both so small, but they were really big for him in the same way. The first really brave thing that he did was say that he didn't want to shoot the female mannequin.
