That is, until Jody, the band's bassist and the story's protagonist, finds herself disrupting Diana's sorcery, even at the cost of her own beloved work and legacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While some band members perpetually seek the free space offered by the underground punk scene to escape from their mundane or traumatic lives, others work toward it as a means of expression, connection, and growth--even if that means eventually outgrowing Sisyphean patterns and inevitably outgrowing their beloved band-family altogether.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNate Powell\u003c\/b\u003e is a National Book Award-winning cartoonist who began self-publishing as an Arkansas teenager in 1992.
