Initially the book rubbed me the wrong way, complaining about gentrification and society moving past him seemed tremendously obnoxious. Then it became apparent that Madonna was in fact self-aware of this fact and made it clear that he was conscious that gentrification seems great when you are the culprit and outrageous when you are the victim. In the end I began to appreciate the book as a personal journey for the author, his drawings and writings were a way for him to process his conflicting feelings and the tale was therefore not for a wide audience but for a very specific niche. The drawings were also nice though a bit repetitive. Not for everyone but it might be helpful to a soul or two.

Surrealistic-tinged illustrated story about the housing crisis in San Francisco. Deals with the impressions and feelings of a person being displaced by gentrification.
