Just Another Meat-Eating Dirtbag is an interesting look at relationships and activism

Posted on by

A rough-and-tumble Iraq War veteran is young and in love, and the last thing on his mind is food and the ethics of eating meat. But when his girlfriend becomes a vegetarian and animal rights activist, suddenly food is all he thinks about.

A true story of how love and vegetarianism can triumph over all else. Love, heartache, and the rest of the ingredients that make a reader laugh, smile, stop-and-think, are all found in this enthralling graphic memoir. Amidst the stories of love and frustration, there are treatises on food, vegetarianism, and the ethics of the animal rights movement (some of it juxtaposed against Michael’s graphic wartime experiences). Told with Michael’s sardonic perspective and the delightful artwork of debut graphic novelist Chai Simone, this is a journey of true love gone temporarily astray.

Street Noise

Street Noise makes nonfiction and memoir graphic novels that powerfully combine words and images. Street Noise books have a radical, intersectional feminist, queer, and inclusive vision, and provide a platform for the voices of marginalized people. Publisher Liz Frances was inspired to found Street Noise after a career working in mainstream publishing and seeing the change that books can make in the world – and looking at the world and seeing the changes needed and happening. 

Following its launch in 2020, Street Noise has published books on topics ranging from climate change to sexual assault and eating disorders, Native American identity, and the conflict in Palestine. Street Noise graphic novels have received starred reviews and been recognized by awards. 

Liz will be participating in Publisher Weekly’s Book Buzz – Spotlight on Independent Publishers and New Imprints on Thursday, July 25th at 3:30pm in room 24ABC. She will be speaking about the importance of independent and countercultural publishers in American today, and about mission-driven publishers’ challenges in rewriting social norms.
