New York dans les années 1950. Patricia Highsmith écrit de mauvaise grâce des comics pour les incultes, avec pour seule compagnie, Spider, son chat siamois. Elle boit, elle fume, elle déteste les gens et la vie... Elle sait qu’elle peut mieux faire. Son cerveau bouillonne d’images du grand roman qu’elle pourrait et devrait écrire, et qui deviendra L’Inconnu du Nord-Express. Dans le même temps, Pat, qui vit très mal son homosexualité, essaie tant bien que mal de suivre une thérapie de conversion, laissant dans son sillage nombre de conquêtes sexuelles et de cœurs brisés. Toutefois, l’une de ces liaisons, et une rencontre fortuite dans un grand magasin, lui donneront l’idée de son roman chéri, Carol. Le récit d’un amour lesbien qui sera le premier dans son genre, car il offre aux protagonistes une fin heureuse. Ce roman graphique n’est pas seulement l’histoire des coulisses d’un classique de la littérature queer, mais celle d’une artiste qui avait de nombreux défauts. Il illustre ce que c’était d’écrire des comics dans les années 1950, ce que cela signifie d’être écrivain, à n’importe quelle époque, et de lutter pour trouver sa voix. Les autrices font de Patricia Highsmith une icône queer involontaire et une figure dont l’héritage controversé a été scellé par ses idées problématiques. La vie de Patricia Highsmith était à l’image de son art : aussi dévastatrice que les intrigues pleines de rebondissements qui lui ont apporté la célébrité et la fortune.

Flung Out of Space isa fictionalized graphic novel account of infamous author Patricia Highsmith caught up in the longing and obsession that would inspire her groundbreaking work of queer fiction, The Price of Salt. A New York Times Book Review 100 Notable Books of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Named a Book We Loved by NPR New York Times bestselling author Grace Ellis and illustrator Hannah Templer have teamed up to tell Patricia Highsmith’s story through her eyes—reimagining the events that inspired her to write The Price of Salt, the book that would become a foundational piece of queer literature. Flung Out of Space opens with Pat begrudgingly writing low-brow comics. A drinker, a smoker, and a hater of life, Pat knows she can do better. Her brain churns with images of the great novel she could and should be writing, what will eventually be Strangers on a Train, which would later be adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. At the same time, Pat, a lesbian consumed with self-loathing, is in and out of conversion therapy, leaving a trail of sexual conquests and broken hearts in her wake. However, one of those very affairs—and a chance encounter in a department store—give Pat the idea for her soon-to-be beloved tale of homosexual love that was the first of its kind: It gave the lesbian protagonists a happy ending. This is not just the story behind a classic queer book but also of a queer artist who was deeply flawed. It’s a comic about what it was like to write comics in the 1950s, but also about what it means to be a writer at any time in history, struggling to find your voice. Author Grace Ellis contextualizes Patricia Highsmith as both an unintentional queer icon and a figure whose problematic views and noted anti-Semitism have cemented her controversial legacy. Highsmith’s life imitated her art with results as devastating as the plot twists that brought her fame and fortune.

From New York Times bestselling author Grace Ellis (Lumberjanes) and artist Brittney Williams (Goldie Vance) comes a new story about 13-year-old Lois Lane as she navigates the confusing worlds of social media and friendship. It’s the first day of summer break in the sleepy town of Liberty View, and young Lois Lane bursts onto the scene with what she knows is a sure-to-go-viral video channel. Okay, maybe her platform only receives two views a week (thanks, Mom), and maybe her best friend, Kristen, isn’t quite as enthusiastic about social media, but when Lois sets her mind on something, there’s no turning back. At the end of the week, the big neighborhood barbecue and bike race will be the perfect backdrop to Lois and Kristen’s #friendshipchallenge video. But when the girls find out the annual fireworks are missing, Lois doubles down on her efforts for fame, testing her friendship in ways she couldn’t imagine. With Kristen leaving for sleepaway camp after the barbecue and a new girl on the block taking all of Kristen’s attention, will Lois be able to find the missing fireworks, celebrate the summer, and post the best #friendshipchallenge the internet has ever seen? Or will she have to face her challenges IRL?
