Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel: A Graphic Novel

Author(s): Anya Ulinich

Graphic Novels

Ulinich turns her sharp eye toward the strange, sometimes unmooring world of 'grown-up' dating. After fifteen years of marriage, 37 year old Lena Lena embarks on a string of online dates and receives a brutally eye-opening education in love, sex, and loss while raising her two teenage daughters. With references to Bernard Malamud and Chekhov along the way, this is a smart, funny story told beautifully through Ulinich's text and drawings.
