Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The brilliant debut graphic novel from the author of Back Alleys and Urban Landscapes about a young woman's search for happiness and self-fulfillment in the big city. * "Perfectly convey[s] the loneliness of urban life." -- Entertainment Weekly
Corrina Park used to have big plans.
Studying English literature in college, she imagined writing a successful novel and leading the idealized life of an author. But she's been working at the same advertising agency for the past five years and the only thing she's written is ... copy. Corrina knows there must be more to life, but and she faces the same question as does everyone in her generation: how to find it? (With two-color illustrations throughout.)
Chiefly illustrations.
"Corinna Parks used to have big plans. While studying English Literature in college, she imagined writing a successful novel and leading the ideal life of an author. After graduation, she moved to a big city and took a job at an advertising agency--just to pay off her student loans--but now she's worked in the same office for five years and the only thing she's written is . . . copy. She longs for companionship (other than her cat), receives no satisfaction from her job, and feels numbed by the monotony of a life experienced through a series of screens. But whenever she shoplifts a magazine from the corner store near her apartment, she feels a little, what? A little more alive. Yet Corinna knows there must be something more to life, as she faces the question everyone of her generation is right now: how to find it?"-- Provided by publisher.
