In this memoir, he looks back on that time, and on the ways that experience followed him throughout his life. Struggling with school while dealing with attentional problems and the overwhelming tsunami of grief, this book tells the story of Mechanic's slow work to figure out a life for himself. It's about obsessive-compulsive disorder, intrusive thoughts, and depression--straight-A's turning to straight F's, and smiles to blank stares. It's about what loss can teach us, and how trauma can be both debilitating and beautiful. It's about standing in dark rooms for long enough for your eyes to adjust.And graffiti. It's about that too.With powerful visuals and thoughtful, poignant text, this graphic memoir challenges readers to keep going in the face of the hardest times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesse Mechanic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951491424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951491420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Street Noise Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jesse Mechanic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795643781375,"sku":"9781951491420","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48828f0f-56d5-4e8d-9e05-a80740db56ec.jpg?v=1744948235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-time-we-spoke-jesse-mechanic-9781951491420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
