Book Reviews of Invasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For (Dykes to Watch Out for)

Book Review: If you like DTWOF, you need this book
Summary: 5 Stars

Bechdel has been chronicling the lives of a group of lesbians in an unnamed town (probably near Minneapolis) for a couple of decades now. Her characters are three dimensional in spirit, although two dimensional on paper. There is politics, romance, food, housepets, librarianship, one utilikilt, and so on. I have the whole set of Bechdel's books and enjoy re-reading them frequently. Bechdel is purportedly amused that so many people are fascinated by the lives of a group of fictitious middle aged lesbians, but I'm not. There are a lot of middle-aged, older, and younger people who think the stories are absorbing and entertaining.

Summary of Invasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For (Dykes to Watch Out for)

Book 11 in the Dykes to Watch Out For series finds Alison Bechdel's beloved cast of characters discovering that nothing but change is constant in our multihued terror alert system world. Mo is working her way through library school by shelving bestsellers at Bounders Books and Muzak, Sparrow and Stuart face parenthood with a mixture of ambivalence and zeal, Clarice and Toni clash over the gay marriage debate while their 10-year-old son Raffi jacks cars and slaps hos on his best friend's computer, Sydney's mammogram yields very bad news, Ginger's love life is finally looking up, and is a Hello Kitty thong really the best gift Lois can give 13-year-old Jonas when s/he becomes Janis? Alison Bechdel is legendary for her ability to examine global politics through the prism of dinner conversations, and this book is no exception. Sydney's doctor insists in likening her malignant cells to terrorists, Stuart's home improvement project develops disturbing parallels to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Ginger's best student turns out to be her most conservative, resulting in an ideology-busting clash of red- and blue-state values.

Alison Bechdel has been writing and illustrating Dykes to Watch Out For since 1982. Her books have won multiple awards, and she was most recently a finalist for the Ferro-Grumley Award and two Eisner awards. She lives in Vermont and is working on a graphic memoir about her queer father.
