Why read it?

1 author picked Digestate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Digestate is probably the original spark point for my short story collection. I discovered this graphic anthology during my writing MFA program in the Bay Area.

It was such a strong and artful reminder to keep what would eventually become my book, years later, a diverse series of stories from different characters’ points of view. Diverse - in a variety of meaningful ways that are visible to everyone else in the diegetic, literary universe between Digestate’s covers.

It’s weird. It’s funny. It has great visual, narrative takes on food, style, and choice.
