The Dust Jacket of Every Contemporary Graphic Novel Ever
-
Part hilarious semi-autobiography, part disturbing graphic memoir, Misnomer chronicles the lost history of three children with mind-bending powers who struggle to come of age during the Voting Rights Act of 1965. An imaginative tour-de-force of horror-struck humor and nostalgic sentimentality, the story weaves a tale of awkward teenage relationships, police brutality, and adolescent innocence through the lens of sociopolitical turmoil and anti-Islamist racism.
70 years have passed since the protagonist’s grandparents immigrated to the West. Now, as the trio try to uncover the truth about their own past and overthrow a Shah’s regime in their family’s homeland, they confront xenophobia, schoolyard bullies, and the failure of a government to protect its citizens from the largest natural disaster in recent memory. Misnomer is a story of growing up, childhood friendship, and the human cost of war and political repression.
