Pass Me By: Electric Vice
2022 ALBERTA BOOK AWARDS 'GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR'
BOOK 2 IN THE AWARD-WINNING SERIES 'PASS ME BY'
A romantic coming-of-age story about understanding queer identity and what happens to the stories you never tell.
This five-book series follows Ed¸ a reserved man dealing with dementia in a small northern Canadian town. As Ed's memory declines¸ he loses touch with the present and revisits a past he chose to forget. The first book¸ Gone Fishin' introduced us to Ed in the early stages of his diagnosis. The story used humour and melancholy in equal measure to explore Ed's deeply human struggle.
Electric Vice¸ the second book in the series¸ is a detour towards a deeper understanding of Ed and the memories at risk as his dementia progresses.
1973: A chance encounter between Ed and the captivating androgynous singer of the pulse-pounding glam rock band ELECTRIC VICE¸ pulls Ed into a world of mascara¸ weathered leather¸ platform heels and neon.
