The Alcoholic
The Alcoholic | Jonathan Ames
7 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
Jonathan A. is a boozed-up, coked-out, sexually confused, hopelessly romantic and, of course, entirely fictional novelist who bears only a coincidental resemblance to real-life writer Jonathan Ames, critically acclaimed author of Wake Up, Sir!, The ExtraMan and What's Not to Love? For the fictional Jonathan, writing and drinking come easy. The hard parts of life are love and hope. From a touching relationship between Jonathan and his aging great aunt, to an inebriated evening with an amorous, octogenarian dwarf, to the devastating aftermath of 9/11, Ames's first original graphic novel, with gritty, poignant art by Dean Haspiel (THE QUITTER), tells a story at once hilarious, excruciating, bizarre and universal, about how our lives fall to pieces and the enduring human struggle to put things back together again.

Interesting graphic novel starring Jonathan Ames in the role of an alcoholic (it's fiction).
Well constructed plot with good illustrations by Dean Haspiel.
I really liked the bonus at the end of my edition recounting how this graphic novel came to be.

A very sobering look at alcoholism, depression, dependency, and taking responsibility for your life, or at least intending to.

It's perhaps too apt a metaphor, but collectively man was like a gigantic alcoholic - he knew better but he couldn't help but destroy himself and everything around him.
