Drinking at the Movies #[nn]

Julia Wertz's Drinking at the Movies arrives from Koyama Press with a cover that perfectly sets the autobiographical, street-level tone — a detailed black-and-white illustration of a New York City block, complete with a "General Discount" shop advertising a perpetual sale, a corner market, a fire escape, and the quiet hum of everyday urban life. The linework is meticulous and warmly observed, capturing the kind of neighborhood texture that makes city living feel both mundane and full of possibility. With a foreword by Janeane Garofalo, this 2015 edition promises a candid, grounded perspective on life in the city.
