Running a pygmy goat sanctuary in Vermont, cartoonist Alison Bechdel is existentially irked by a climate-challenged world and a citizenry on the brink of civil war. Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathingly self-critical memoir about her own greed and privilege? Meanwhile, Alison's first graphic memoir about growing up with her father, a taxidermist who specialized in replicas of Victorian animal displays, has been adapted into a highly successful TV series. As the TV show Death and Taxidermy racks up Emmy after Emmy-and when Alison's Pauline Bunyanesque partner Holly posts an instructional wood-chopping video that goes viral-Alison's own envy spirals. Why couldn't she be the writer for a critically lauded and wildly popular reality TV show... like Queer Eye... showing people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!
