{"product_id":"time-under-tension","title":"Time Under Tension","description":"\u003cp\u003eM.S. Harkness is graduating from art school in Minneapolis and facing a crossroads in life. She has a strained relationship with her mother, a sexually abusive father on parole, and is in love with an aspiring MMA fighter who mostly hangs out with her to get high and already has a girlfriend and career prospects with a fight promotion. An art career feels untenable -- as one professor tells her, \"Don't expect to get by on this fucked-up broke girl shit.\" She decides to get a personal trainer's certificate -- it seems like a feasible and sensible career option -- but continues to dabble as a sex worker and weed dealer because the money is too irresistible. With idle hands due to no classes or full-time work, M.S. has ample time to aimlessly fuck around -- or, to get her shit together. \"I want to be better, I want to be stable and solid. I don't want to keep aimlessly shifting between untenable situations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarkness's bold, precise black-and-white cartooning and eye for storytelling invites the reader in, while her sharp wit and naturalist ear as a writer takes it away from there. Never didactic, always real, Time Under Tension is a spirited and assured work of graphic memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"FANTAGRAPHICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56048485794170,"sku":"ZTP-9781683968962","price":21.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Time-Under-Tension.jpg?v=1760977972","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-us\/products\/time-under-tension","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
