DESCRIPTION:  Alison Bechdel will be presenting and signing her new book “The 
 Essential Dykes to Watch Out For” at the Cal Student Store on the UC 
 Berkeley campus on November 11 at 4 p.m. Copies of the book will be 
 available for sale.\n  For twenty-five years Bechdel’s path-breaking 
 Dykes to Watch Out For strip has been collected in award-winning volumes 
 (with a quarter of a million copies in print), syndicated in fifty 
 alternative newspapers, and translated into many languages. Now, at last, 
 The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For gathers a “rich, funny, deep and 
 impossible to put down” (Publishers Weekly) selection from all eleven 
 Dykes volumes.  Here too are sixty of the newest strips, never before 
 published in book form. \n  Settle in to this wittily illustrated soap 
 opera (Bechdel calls it “half op-ed column and half endless serialized 
 Victorian novel”) of the lives, loves, and politics of a cast of 
 characters, most of them lesbian, living in a midsize American city that 
 may or may not be Minneapolis.  Her brilliantly imagined countercultural 
 band of friends -- academics, social workers, bookstore clerks -- fall in 
 and out of love, negotiate friendships, raise children, switch careers, and 
 cope with aging parents. \nBechdel fuses high and low culture -- from 
 foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theory -- in a 
 serial graphic narrative “suitable for humanists of all persuasions.” 
 The Cal Student Store is located on the UC Berkeley campus at the 
 intersection of Telegraph and Bancroft.\n\n\n
