Seth’s It’s a Good Life, if you Don’t Weaken as Anti-Nostalgia
This chapter challenges the general, reductive assumption that graphic novelist Seth’s work is dominated by a nostalgic impulse. Offering a close reading of It’s a Good Life, If You Don’t Weaken, the chapter demonstrates that though the protagonist/narrator is deeply nostalgic, the narrative itself critiques and undermines this version of “Seth”; Seth the graphic novelist critiques the overly nostalgic impulses of this eponymic persona in the graphic novel.
