Just out from Graphic Mundi, Sarah Firth’s debut book Eventually Everything Connects can best be described in comics terms as “graphic philosophy”. To support this collection of comics essays tackling existential posers Firth will also be appearing at the Cartoon Museum in London as part of her multi-country tour publicising the book. There Firth will talk about Eventually Everything Connects in conversation with comics artist Peter Morey and will also be signing copies. It all happens on Sunday June 9th between 1pm and 3pm. Further details on the Cartoon Museum site here. Check out the press release below for more information and preview art.
Eventually Everything Connects
Eight Essays on Uncertainty
Sarah Firth
Joyous musings on the meaningful and the mundane for troubled times.
In her debut graphic novel, Sarah Firth ponders some of lifeʼs deepest philosophical questions: Why are we here? How are we supposed to get along with one another? What on earth is that slug doing in my bathroom sink?
From daydreams and pop culture memes to the teachings of science, philosophy, and history, Firth weaves together a mix of great and silly ideas based on her own lived experience, all tossed together with unique energy, boundless curiosity and humor, and colorful, detailed, kinetic drawings. Through eight autobiographical visual essays, Firth explores how to live better in the modern world; ways to be more compassionate toward oneself, others, and the planet; and how everything does, eventually, connect.
Honest, profound, and profane, Eventually Everything Connects is a life-affirming book about the joys and pains of living in a hyper- complex and uncertain world.
“Overflowing with candor, humor, and the messiness of life.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Leaves you with a deep appreciation of how very strange it is to be alive.” —Jessica Abel, author of Growing Gills
