Harkness\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.S. Harkness is graduating from art school in Minneapolis and facing a crossroads in life. She has a strained relationship with her mother, a sexually abusive father on parole, and is in love with an aspiring MMA fighter who mostly hangs out with her to get high and already has a girlfriend and career prospects with a fight promoter. An art career feels untenable -- as one professor tells her, \"Don't expect to get by on this fucked-up broke girl shit.\" She decides to get a personal trainer's certificate -- it seems like a feasible and sensible career option -- but continues to dabble as a sex worker and weed dealer because the money is too irresistible. With idle hands due to no classes or full-time work, M.S. has ample time to aimlessly fuck around -- or, to get her shit together. \"I want to be better, I want to be stable and solid. I don't want to keep aimlessly shifting between untenable situations.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarkness's bold, precise black-and-white cartooning and eye for storytelling invites the reader in, while her sharp wit and naturalist ear as a writer takes it away from there. Never didactic, always real, \u003cem\u003eTime Under Tension\u003c\/em\u003e is a spirited and assured work of graphic memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.5 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758999961888,"sku":"9781683968962","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/edb90c66adc1e52886a75ae40082b6b8.webp?v=1780140787","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/time-under-tension-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
