Save it for Later by Nate Powell
Most of us will be familiar with Powell from his work on the March trilogy. This book is certainly different from March, though it shares some of the same bones. Best described as a collection of personal essays, Save it for Later has Powell reflecting on politics and parenting in the modern era. He struggles with how to explain what is happening in the world to his young children, balancing honesty with allowing them the innocence of childhood, teaching them to become responsible citizens. And he does not claim to have any answers. Each chapter is as much about his dilemmas as it is about what he and his wife told their daughters. The heavy use of darkness and shadow in the art reflects his personal struggles. It's not a casual read but definitely one worth visiting.
