In her new comic novel 'Spent', Alison Bechdel humorously examines her own privilege and the corrupting influence of money while grappling with contemporary social and political challenges. Living on a goat sanctuary in Vermont with her wife, she finds herself paralyzed by bad news and existential musings on whether she can create art amidst societal chaos. The book critiques the absurdities of her life as a progressive artist, juxtaposing her financial success with her disdain for corporate greed, thus inviting readers to reflect on their complicity in such systems.
In 'Spent', Alison Bechdel uses humor to address her privilege and complicity in late-stage capitalism while highlighting the chaotic world around her.
