The Hard Tomorrow | Eleanor Davis
6 posts | 7 read | 10 to read
The gorgeous and empathetic story of one couples search for hope and a peaceful future Hannah is a thirty-something wife, home-health worker, and antiwar activist. Her husband, Johnny, is a stay-at-home pothead workingor "working"on building them a house before the winter chill sets in. They're currently living and screwing in the back of a truck, hoping for a pregnancy, which seems like it will never come. Legs in the air, for a better chance at conception, Hannah scans fertility Reddits while Johnny dreams about propagating plantskale, tomatoesto ensure they have sufficient sustenance should the end times come, which, given their fragile democracy strained under the weight of a carceral state and the risk of horrible war, doesnt seem so far off. Helping Hannah in her fight for the future is her best friend Gabby, a queer naturalist she idolizes and who adores her. Helping Johnny build the house is Tyler, an off-the-grid conspiracy theorist driven sick by his own cloudy notions of reality. Told with tenderness and care in an undefined near future, Eleanor Davis's The Hard Tomorrow blazes unrestrained, as moments of human connection are doused in fear and threats. Her astute projections probe at current anxieties in a cautionary tale that begs the question: What will happen after tomorrow?

What an incredible book. There were so many smart and interesting choices that the author/illustrator makes throughout to create subtle important information through the narrative. Read it slow and enjoy the illustrations

A #GraphicNovel that sits decidedly in the grey area between hope and fear. It's set in the near future in the US that horrifyingly doesn't seem that far fetched: Mark Zuckerberg is president and the US is slipping farther and farther into a fascist state. Hannah is an anti- violence and chemical weapons activist, she and her husband are trying to get pregnant, and she has a complicated friendship with queer friend Gabby. Very thought provoking.

#BookMail! I'm excited to get this graphic novel about a 30-something activist trying to get pregnant while wondering about the ethics of bringing a kid into this world. #GraphicNovel
