Summary: PaperbackSummary: Jonathan A. is a boozed-up, coked-out, sexually confused, hopelessly romantic and, of course, entirely fictional novelist (who bears no resemblance to Jonathan Ames). For the fictional Jonathan, writing and drinking come easy. The hard parts of life are love and hope... From a touching relationship between Jonathan and his aging great aunt, to an inebriated evening with an amorous, octogenarian dwarf, to the devastating aftermath of 9/11, this original graphic novel tells a story at once about how our lives fall to pieces and the enduring human struggle to put things back together again. Jonathan Ames, author of ""What's Not to Love?"" and Dean Haspiel (""The Quitter"") present a story which is at once hilarious, excruciating, bizarre and universal.
