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.
