Innan Kate Beaton blev till, den kritikerrosade serietecknaren vars underhållande samlingsalbum Hark! A Vagrant klättrat ända upp i toppen av New York Times bästsäljarlista, fanns en Katie Beaton från Cape Breton, och mer specifikt Mabou, ett litet slutet kustsamhälle med lika gott om hummer som stränder, fioler och gaeliska folkvisor. Med ett enda mål, att betala av sitt studielån, reser Katie västerut för att sko sig på Alberta-provinsens oljerusch, ett klassiskt inslag i östkustbornas långa tradition av att leta efter lukrativa anställningar på annat håll när de inte lyckas få jobb i sin älskade hembygd. Väl framme erfar Katie den bistra verkligheten i livet vid oljesandfälten, där trauman är vardag men aldrig diskuteras.
I Änder: Två år i oljesandfälten får Beaton fullt utlopp för sitt hantverk då hon ritar kolossala maskiner och mammutfordon mot en sublim backdrop bestående av Albertas tajga och nordiska ljus. Hennes första längre berättelse i serieformat är ett avslöjande porträtt av det Kanada som gärna stoltserar med solidaritet och vackra landskap, samtidigt som det hänsynslöst exploaterar både sin natur och sina medborgare.
Röster om Änder: Två år i oljesandfälten
"Ett mästerverk. En nattlampa som lyser i mörkret." Patricia Lockwood
"En exceptionellt vacker bok om ensamhet, arbete och överlevnad. Kate Beaton är en insiktsfull guide genom ett komplext landskap av klass och kön och själva sidorna strålar av sorg och smärta." Carmen Maria Machado
"I Änder säger Beaton inte åt oss hur kapitalismen utvinner, utnyttjar, varufierar och främmandegör. Inte heller visar hon. Hon återskapar livet vid ett oljesandfält i korniga detaljer och överlämnar till läsaren att dra slutsatserna, som hon själv tvingades göra när hon som tjugoettåring dök upp där i jakt på jobb." Alison Bechdel

Since Kate Beaton appeared on the comics scene in 2007 her cartoons have become fan favourites and gathered an enormous following, appearing in the New Yorker, Harper and the LA Times, to name but a few. Her website, Hark! A Vagrant, receives an average of 1.2 million hits a month, 500 thousand of them unique. Why? Because she's not just making silly jokes. She's making jokes about everything we learned in school, and more. Praised for their expression, intelligence and comic timing, her cartoons are best known for their wonderfully light touch on historical and literary topics. The jokes are a knowing look at history through a very modern perspective, written for every reader, and are a crusade against anyone with the idea that history is boring. It's pretty hard to argue with that when you're laughing your head off at a comic about Thucydides. They also cover whatever's on her mind that week - be it the perils of city living or the pop-cultural infiltration of Sex and the City, featuring an array of characters, from a mischievous pony, to reinvented superheroes, to a surly teen duo who could be the anti-Hardy-Boys.Perceptive, sharp and wonderfully irreverent, Hark! A Vagrant is as informative as it is hilarious, and a comic collection to treasure.

A deeply moving picture book about a young mother and her family who find strength, resilience, and even joy in the face of sorrow, from bestselling author Kate Beaton and renowned artist Sydney Smith. Rebecca lives in a bright and bustling home with her family on an island, where their days are full of work and also stories and laughter. Then, one wintry day, her husband disappears into the icy sea. Sorrow follows Rebecca home, haunting empty chairs and quiet moments. But life must go on. There is still work to be done: new rooms to build, firewood to chop. Many years pass, and Rebecca’s children have children of their own. The house is filled with light and noise once again. Rebecca grows older and older, until one day, Sorrow pays her a visit. But there is no fear, for Sorrow is now an old friend. So they sit together as the sun sets and watch the fireplace flames flicker down to the last ember. Inspired by acclaimed author Kate Beaton’s family history and stunningly illustrated by Hans Christian Andersen-award-winner Sydney Smith, this exquisite story tells a tale of not just loss, but of the life that blooms after it. It’s a story of strength and resilience, of determination and survival, and of the timelessness of family and love.

*WINNER OF THE EISNER AWARDS FOR BEST MEMOIR AND BEST WRITER/ARTIST*'A vast and complex tapestry that captures the humanity of people... it shimmers with grace'ALISON BECHDEL, author of FUN HOMEBefore there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beatons, a tight-knit seaside community. After university, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush, part of the long tradition of East Coast Canadians who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, what the journey will actually cost Katie will be far more than she anticipates.Arriving in Fort McMurray, Katie finds work in the lucrative camps owned and operated by the world's largest oil companies. As one of the few women among thousands of men, 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. For young Katie, her wounds may never heal.Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, Northern Lights, and Rocky Mountains. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.

A new collection by the web sensation and New Yorker cartoonistHark! A Vagrant is an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of New Yorker cartoonist and comics sensation Kate Beaton. No era or tome emerges unscasthed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western world's revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction. She deftly points out what really happened when Brahms fell asleep listening to Liszt, that the world's first hipsters were obviously the Incroyables and the Merveilleuses from eighteenth-century France, that Susan B. Anthony is, of course, a "e;Samantha,"e; and that the polite banality of Canadian culture never gets old. Hark! A Vagrant features sexy Batman, the true stories behind classic Nancy Drew covers, and Queen Elizabeth doing the albatross. As the 500,000 unique monthly visitors to harkavagrant.com already know, no one turns the ironic absurdities of history and literature into comedic fodder as hilariously as Beaton.

A follow-up to Hark! A Vagrant, which spent five months on the New York Times bestseller listIda B. Wells, the Black Prince, and Benito Juarez burst off the pages of Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection, armed with modern-sounding quips and amusingly on-point repartee. Kate Beaton's second D+Q book brings her hysterically funny gaze to bear on these and even more historical, literary, and contemporary figures. Irreverently funny and carefully researched, no target is safe from Beaton's incisive wit in these satirical strips. Beaton began her infectiously popular web comic, Hark! A Vagrant, in 2007 and it quickly attracted the adoration of hundreds of thousands of fans. It was an unequivocal hit with critics and fans alike, topping best-of-the-year lists from E!, Amazon, Time, and more. Now Beaton returns with a refined pen, ready to make jokes at the expense of hunks, army generals, scientists, and Canadians in equal measure. With a few carefully placed lines, she captures the over-the-top evil of the straw feminists in the closet, the disgruntled dismay of Heathcliff, and Wonder Woman's all-conquering ennui. Step Aside, Pops is sure to be the comedic hit of the year: sharp, insightful, and very funny.

Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour by Kate Beaton, award-winning author of Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, explores connections between class, literature, and art from Cape Breton Island. She addresses the fact that people from poor or working-class backgrounds face significant barriers entering the Canadian arts scene and shows that if they do not write themselves into stories, others will, often with damaging results. Beaton thoughtfully examines personal and working-class legacies, celebrating the authenticity and power of truly seeing ourselves and each other in the art that we create.
