The Year of Loving Dangerously
Graphic Memoir, 2009
NBM Hardback, 6″x9″, 128 pp., Price $18.95
“Ted Rall is fearless. In The Year of Loving Dangerously, he turns his formidable journalistic skills on a very rich subject—himself. The memoir is not just a revealing and entertaining account of Rall’s misspent youth, but a gritty, alternative take on Manhattan in the boom years of the 1980s.”
—Alison Bechdel, “Fun Home”
For the first time since his award-winning “My War With Brian,” Ted Rall returns to the autobiographical graphic novel. The time is 1984. The place is New York City. In the space of a few months, Rall found himself expelled from university, fired by his job, arrested for drugs that weren’t even his, dumped by the girl he considered his fiancée and evicted. He hit the streets with nothing more than eight bucks and the clothes on his back.
Desperate and prepared to become homeless, the future political cartoonist invested a third of his worldly savings on pizza. There he met a girl who took him home for the night…and so began Rall’s “Year of Loving Dangerously.”
