Description

James Sturm's Off Season is a deeply affecting graphic novel that charts one couple's divisive separation against the backdrop of a tumultuous election season. Through tender and raw moments, Sturm explores the complexities of grief, rage, love, and loss as a father navigates life as a single parent. With masterful pacing and storytelling, Sturm delivers a long-form narrative set in contemporary times, using anthropomorphized characters to temper an otherwise emotionally fraught situation. Originally serialized on Slate, this expanded edition turns timely vignettes into a timeless account of one family's experience during their "off season". This powerful graphic novel is a testament to Sturm's growth as a cartoonist and educator, moving away from historical fiction to deliver a deeply human story that speaks to our cultural moment.
