Description
Julia Wertz's graphic memoir Impossible People is a candid and humorous account of her struggles with sobriety. The story begins with a disastrous trip to Puerto Rico, where Julia finds herself standing in the middle of the jungle beside a crashed rental Jeep. As she recounts her five-year journey towards recovery, Wertz reveals the often-frustrating and hilarious nature of trying to overcome addiction. The narrative is unflinchingly honest, detailing group therapy sessions, relapses, failed relationships, and other setbacks that are all part of the complex cycle of addiction and recovery. Impossible People offers a refreshingly realistic portrayal of the road to recovery, one that eschews traditional narratives in favour of a more nuanced and often absurd account. Through her graphic memoir, Wertz sheds light on the lesser-told story of recovery, where the journey is rarely linear and the path forward is often uncertain.
