Ulli Lust takes us on a wild ride through the summer of 1984 when she and her pal Edi decide to hitch their way across Italy from their home town of Vienna. This anarchic trip of forested border crossings, jail time and pan-handling conjures the dark side of rebellious youth and their punk lifestyle in an unromanticised yet non-judgemental way. The author invites us to consider issues of gender roles, misogyny, sexuality and consent in this, her adrenaline filled chronicle. Energetic illustrations and the gritty use of sickly green colouration launch this multi award winning graphic memoir upon the senses.
Lust, Ulli. Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life, Seattle, WA : Fantagraphics, 2013.
