Description
xA portrait of creative stagnation, digital saturation, and the strange, sideways momentum of post-modern life.
Laura has just received a prestigious grant to write her debut novel, and everyone around her agrees that things seem to finally be falling into place for her. Instead, she finds herself increasingly numb and detached from reality--half-heartedly meeting up with friends at the gym, struggling to fulfil her role as a daughter, and managing an abstract relationship with a married man. Haunted by lingering memories of a toxic youth she can't escape, Laura is stuck in a strange limbo, unable to draw a cohesive plot for her life, her hopes, or her future. Wry, elliptical, and intimate, Physical Education perfectly captures the quiet absurdities of the algorithmic age and the familiar ways in which we scroll, strive, sweat, and stall our way through the world. A smart, emotionally resonant work for readers of Jillian Tamaki's Boundless and The Hard Tomorrow by Eleanor Davis.Author: Joana Mosi

xJoana Mosi is an award-winning visual artist and cartoonist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Born and raised close to the sea, Joana has a really hard time sitting still in one place for a long time (which is a problem when your job requires you to spend lots of time at a drawing table) so she ends up traveling a lot, participating in art residencies and comics festivals across the globe. While she's planning her next artistic endeavour, she stays fresh by teaching (and learning from) new generations of creators.
