Bury Me Already (It's Nice Down Here)

Achingly tender and absurdly funny, Bury Me, Already (It's Nice Down Here), by acclaimed graphic memoirist Julia Wertz (Impossible People), chronicles pregnancy and motherhood during challenging times.
After being illegally evicted from her basement studio in Brooklyn, Julia returns to Northern California with plans to head to Los Angeles to pursue a different career path. But when she reunites with her family and rekindles a relationship with an ex-boyfriend, she discovers that her vision of the future might not be what she really wants. After a surprise pregnancy and a marriage proposal, Julia settles into quiet life in a small town. But as 2020 approaches, her world—and the world around her— takes sharp turn towards unexpected chaos. Julia’s story of pregnancy, miscarriage, the pandemic, wildfires, a family crisis, a traumatic birth, new motherhood, marriage, and a life-altering event is a heart-wrenching, tender, and hilarious story of resilience, adversity, and, ultimately, love.
