DUCKS TWO YEARS IN THE OIL SANDS TP (MR)
Material Rating : M-Mature
Format : Trade Paperback
Now available in paperback, Kate Beaton’s Ducks: Two years in the Oil Sands stunned the world with its unflinching honesty and candid vulnerability, cementing its place in the graphic novel canon alongside Maus, Persepolis, and Fun Home. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, young Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush. But as one of the few women among thousands of men working for the world’s largest oil companies, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed.
