"The zine you are holding is an excerpt from the forthcoming graphic memoir, It's All in Your Head: A Decade Living With Brain Cancer. Written by Adam Bessie and illustrated by Marc Parenteau, It's All in Your Head is a candid, dark, and humorous dispatch from years spent navigating the terra incognita of cancer. In episodes both tragic and comic, Adam Bessie examines his diagnosis, brain surgery, rehabilitation, combined chemotherapy and IVF, the birth of his son, and his own evolving appreciation of the myriad aspects of life that cancer affects. Bessie considers his often conflicting roles of Parent, Partner, Professor, and Patient while looking back on the the simultaneously traumatic and terrific years of rebuilding a new and fragile sense of normalcy. In a graphic narrative shot through with both the surreal and mundane aspects of cancerhood, It's All in Your Head explores what can be made with the pieces when things fall apart."--From front cover verso.
