Forthcoming graphic novel, estimated publishing date 2025.
Gay influencer. Lifelong Alaskan. Part-time owl researcher. In Archie Bongiovanni’s UNHINGED, self-proclaimed celesbian Laura is the internet’s snapback bestie and role model for thousands of worldwide followers. After years of struggling for acceptance, she knows exactly who she is–doesn’t she? When an old high school friend shows Laura queer dives and sex apps she’s never heard of, her gender and sexuality simultaneously shift and she begins cruising secretly online as Leo. As Laura’s internet encounters get more and more heated, Laura wonders: is her identity really her own? And is it their own, or his own? Multiple internet personas collide with their failing IRL relationships in a horny, hilarious graphic novel that is a testament to the sexual body as a discovery, navigating queer spaces, and ego-death as a practice in healing. To Charlotte Greenbaum and Mariko Tamaki at Abrams/Surely in an exclusive submission by Jim McCarthy at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. (World)
