Are You Listening?

Bea is running away when she encounters Lou, and their unexpected meeting becomes a journey through West Texas. The road refuses to behave normally: familiar landscapes shift, a mysterious cat joins them, and threatening men seem determined to follow. Neither traveler can keep moving safely without trusting the other. As they exchange pieces of their lives, grief, heartbreak and trauma surface alongside the unsettling events outside the car. Tillie Walden’s graphic novel brings magical realism into a story of queer friendship and recovery. Bea and Lou’s connection offers companionship in a frightening landscape, without turning their bond into a romance between them.
