{"product_id":"the-love-bunglers-9781606997291","title":"The Love Bunglers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Jaime Hernandez's longtime \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e heroine Maggie, \u003cem\u003eThe Love Bunglers\u003c\/em\u003e explores the suppression of her family history. Because these secrets can't be dealt with openly, they weigh heavily on her mind. But Maggie's ability to navigate and find meaning in her life -- despite losing her culture, her brother, her profession, and her friends -- is what's made her a compelling character. After a lifetime of losses, Maggie finds, in the second half, her longtime off-and-on lover, Ray Dominguez. In taking us through lives, deaths, and near-fatalities, \u003cem\u003eThe Love Bunglers\u003c\/em\u003e encapsulates Maggie's emotional history as it moves from resignation to memories of loss, to sudden violence (a theme in this story) and eventually to love and contentment. Hernandez has been following his longtime character, Maggie, around for several decades, which lends this book a powerful emotional resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606997291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.28h x 9.00w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e L.A.
