Men I Trust

Tommi Parrish's sophomore graphic novel establishes them as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary literature.

Publisher Marketing: Parrish's gift for nuanced characterizations and dialogue juxtapose with their distinctive, highly stylized art....This humane, insightful tale should further burnish Parrish's reputation as a first-rate artist and storyteller.-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review" Review Quotes : Parrish's tactile paintwork conjures humans with hulking bodies and baseball heads, all of them wondering whether the messes they're in are the result of mistakes they've made or some kind of perverse destiny they were always bound for.-- "Vulture" Review Quotes : Parrish... relentlessly interrogates issues of gender and sexuality, pointing out that strict binaries are mostly jerry-built and easily broken.-- "PEN" Review Quotes : With each hand-painted panel, author Tommi Parrish communicates an intense atmosphere and delves thoughtfully into the themes of queer desire, masculinity, fear, and the fading of past relationships.-- "Eyes on Design" Brief Description : "Eliza is a thirtysomething struggling single mother and poet. Sasha, a twentysomething yearning for direction in life, just moved back in with her parents and dabbles as a sex worker. The two strike up an unlikely friendship that, as it veers toward something more, becomes a deeply resonant exploration of how far people are willing to go to find intimacy in a society that is increasingly not conducive to it." --Provided by Publisher.
