Bald

"An autobiographical account in graphic novel format that explores the trauma of alopecia through humor and self-reflection"--

A propos de l'auteur

Tereza Čechová stopped wearing a wig a long time ago, but she hasn't stopped talking about alopecia. She studied journalism and media sciences at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University in Prague. Together with Stěpánka Jislová, she founded Laydeez do Comics Praha, which promotes the work of female comic book authors.
Stěpánka Jislová graduated from the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art in Pilsen. She is the author or coauthor of seven comic books, including SUPRO and Heartcore, and her short comic stories have been published in several anthologies.

Résumé

Even the most imperfect journey can lead to beauty.
 
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn’t imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships, work—and, above all, herself— radically changed.
 
Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Štepánka Jislová.
