Description
"The deceptively simple through-line for Swedish media personality and activist Liv Str̲mquist's The Reddest Rose is the question: Why does Leonardo DiCaprio date an endless string of 20-something models? Her answer -- in the form of this collection of well-researched, humorous comics essays -- tracks how philosophers and artists, from the Ancient Greeks to Beyonč, conceptualized romantic love. Str̲mquist's signature characters, drawn in a flat, blocky style, ask each other questions and offer sharp commentary as they guide readers throughout history and the change in societies' values, from showing love/loving to getting love/being loved. Str̲mquist wonders: in a rationalist, consumerist world, can romantic love survive?"--,Back cover.
