Lie and How We Told It

During a painful night that no one really wants to be having, a friendship in the last stages of decay creaks under the strain of a fumbling encounter between its two estranged participants, leaving them even more lonely and uncertain than before. Parrish's first graphic novel for Fantagraphics is a visual tour de force, always in the service of the author's ever-prevalent themes: navigating queer desire, masculinity, fear, and the ever-in-flux state of friendships.
