AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Men I Trust is the sophomore graphic novel from Australian (now Montreal-based) Tommi Parrish. Like fellow artists Simon Hanselmann, Lee Lai and Adrian Tomine, Parrish’s work summons a mumblecore – the indie film genre that quietly flourished in the early 2000s – sensibility. But while mumblecore on film – with its dialogue-heavy, action-light plots and inwardly obsessed protagonists – arguably registered as somewhat twee and myopic, in graphic novel form this approach to storytelling is much more nuanced and affecting. Men I Trust sees Parrish perfectly capture the vulnerability, tension and flux of navigating relationships – romantic, familial, self-fulfilment – under the pressures of capitalism.' (Introduction)
