Invasion of the dykes to watch out for

by Alison Bechdel

"There's definitely an invasion afoot in the latest installment in Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out for series, but just who's invading whom is unclear. Are Mo and her friends having an impact on the world or merely splattering on its windshield? Mo is forced to work her way through library school by slinging best sellers at Bounders Books-N-Muzak. Sparrow is ambivalent about new motherhood. Clarice and Toni discover 10-year-old Raffi jacking ears and picking up prostitutes on his best friend's computer. And Sydney's first mammogram yields some very bad news. If this isn't enough to turn your hair gray, it all unfolds against the grim rainbow-colored backdrop of the Homeland Security Advisory System. Join our conflicted friends as they struggle to save this fragile, fearful planet with attachment-parenting, patriotic dissent, good sex, library cards, and a dedicated resistance to the forces of order and decency wherever they rear their ugly heads."--Publisher's description.
