Are You Listening? is an intimate and emotionally soaring story about friendship, grief, and healing from Eisner Award winner Tillie Walden. Bea is on the run. And then, she runs into Lou. This chance encounter sends them on a journey through West Texas, where strange things follow them wherever they go. The landscape morphs into an unsettling world, a mysterious cat joins them, and they are haunted by a group of threatening men. To stay safe, Bea and Lou must trust each other as they are driven to confront buried truths. The two women share their stories of loss and heartbreak—and a startling revelation about sexual assault—culminating in an exquisite example of human connection. This magical realistic adventure from the celebrated creator of Spinning and On a Sunbeam will stay with readers long after the final gorgeously illustrated page.

i absolutely loved this i'm sitting here about to tear up over the ending. Definitely my new favorite of Walden's work!
everything kafka on the shore wishes it was
in all seriousness, it stands on its own as a beautiful reflection on how we process life
Also thoughtful and haunted with emotions, conveying lots with looks and pauses, and featuring small touches of magic, this is very similar yet nowhere near as good as On A Sunbeam.
