Kay realises two things: she's finally made it to the city that made her in celluloid and prose from across the Pacific - Kerouac, <i>Friends</i>, Plath - and that trauma she's endured in her relationship has left gaping holes in her memory.<br><br>In New York, at last, Kay has room to begin the work of piecing herself back together through art and food. But as her personal story becomes a window onto a mystifying metropolis both inhospitable and inspiring to the many who call it home, Kay embarks on an electric exploration of how to forge the self and a life of one's own today.<br><br>At once heartrending and enlivening, <i>This Beautiful, Ridiculous City</i> is not another ode to New York but a phenomenal meditation on how easy it is to fall beautifully, ridiculously in love with places - and indeed people - that do not always love us back but somehow still save us in weird, unexpected ways.<br><br><b>'A stunning graphic memoir... a praise-song to her adopted home... with its glorious, candy-coloured drawings' - </b><i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i></p>
