April 2024 Reads for the Rest of Us - Ms. Magazine

This autobiographically-inspired graphic novel explores mental health and schizophrenia in a surprising and emotionally honest story with a fantastical cast of animal characters.

Fox Foxerson's got a new roommate. Fox Foxerson's got a new job. Fox Foxerson's got a date. The roommate is only a little strange, sometimes. The job seems to involve . . . filing? It's not very clear. The date seems to be more interested in someone else. Fox would rather be making art.

As the oppressive weight of the everyday routine beats down on Fox, nothing is going right. And it doesn't seem like anyone can help -- not Fox's roommate, not Fox's friends, and definitely not the nurses and doctors at the hospital, who don't seem to take notice of anything Fox tries to tell them. Fox needs some time and space to figure things out. This quirky, humorous graphic novel tinged with pathos, immerses readers in the constant question: are you okay? Fox is not okay, but Fox is working on it.

Industry Reviews

"A work of blunt brilliance. With disarming humor and irresistible charm, Fox Foxerson calls everything exactly what it is. I highly recommend this funny and loving book." -Amy Kurzweil, author of Artificial: A Love Story

"Energetic, surprising, and often funny, the simple line drawings belie the complexity of one person's fascinating quest for healing. An important addition to the field of graphic medicine." -Elizabeth Trembley, author of Look Again: A Memoir

"A cast of creatively chosen animal avatars carries us through this story while effectively critiquing the sometimes arbitrary and confusing mental health treatment establishment." -MK Czerwiec, author of Taking Turns
