Ted Rall has teamed up with Pablo G. Callejo for
The Year of Loving Dangerously, which is based on Rall's experience getting arrested, dumped, expelled and evicted in New York City in 1984. It's Rall's first collaborative effort, and it hits stores next month. "
Year is an allegory for the economic collapse, showcasing what can happen to anyone, even a white Ivy-educated male, who suffers a run of bad luck," Rall writes. "It's also a shot across the bow of other male graphic artists who wallow in self-pity and alienation." The
Washington Post's Michael Cavna
says the book is "a little bit
Midnight Cowboy in tone, and part
The Graduate."
