520    The Eisner Award–winning story about a student figuring 
       out radical politics in a messy world.  Sophie is young 
       and queer and into feminist theory. She decides to study 
       abroad, choosing Paris for no firm reason beyond liking 
       French comics. Feeling a bit lonely and out of place, 
       she’s desperate for community and a sense of belonging. 
       She stumbles into what/who she’s looking for when she 
       meets Zena. An anarchist student-activist committed to 
       veganism and shoplifting, Zena offers Sophie a whole new 
       political ideology that feels electric. Enamored—of Zena, 
       of the idea of living more righteously—Sophie finds 
       herself swept up in a whirlwind friendship that blows her 
       even further from her rural California roots as they 
       embark on a disastrous hitchhiking trip to Amsterdam and 
       Berlin, full of couch surfing, drug tripping, and radical 
       book fairs.  Capturing that time in your life where you’re
       meeting new people and learning about the world—when 
       everything feels vital and urgent—The Contradictions is 
       Sophie Yanow’s fictionalized coming-of-age story. Sophie’s
       attempts at ideological purity are challenged time and 
       again, putting into question the plausibility of a life of
       dogma in a world filled with contradictions. Keenly 
       observed, frank, and very funny, The Contradictions speaks
       to a specific reality while also being incredibly 
       relatable, reminding us that we are all imperfect people 
       in an imperfect world.
