SUMMARY:Pop-up: Julia Wertz
DESCRIPTION:Julia Wertz reads from her new memoir Bury Me Already (It’s Nice Down Here) at Portland Art Museum in the Prints & Drawings gallery (Level 0\, Room 007)\, paired with Mary Kay Nitchie\, Jump\, from the portfolio Wayzgoose. \nAbout Bury Me Already (It’s Nice Down Here):\nRaw\, honest\, and hilarious\, Bury Me Already (It’s Nice Down Here) chronicles the joy and horror of becoming a mother during challenging times. \nIn this follow-up to the acclaimed memoir Impossible People—a book about getting sober and becoming a professional artist in New York City—cartoonist Julia Wertz returns home to Northern California where she reunites with her family and rekindles a relationship with an ex-boyfriend. After a surprise pregnancy and a marriage proposal\, Julia settles (somewhat reluctantly) into a quiet life in a small town. But as 2020 approaches\, her world\, and the world at large\, takes a sharp turn toward unexpected chaos. Through comic vignettes\, essays\, and diary doodles\, Julia recounts the events of her pregnancy and its attendant body horror\, a miscarriage\, family trauma\, marriage\, a life-altering accident\, and the joy and surprises of parenthood as it all unfolds against the backdrop of local wildfires and a global pandemic. The result of this unconventional collection is a heart-wrenching and hilarious story of adversity\, resilience\, and\, ultimately\, love.
