Description: M. S. Harkness is graduating from art school in Minneapolis and facing a crossroads in life. She has a strained relationship with her mother a sexually abusive father on parole and is in love with an aspiring MM a fighter who mostly hangs out with her to get high and already has a girlfriend and career prospects with a fight promoter. An art career feels untenable - as one professor tells her Don't expect to get by on this fucked - up broke girl shit. She decides to get a personal trainer's certificate - it seems like a feasible and sensible career option - but continues to dabble as a sex worker and weed dealer because the money is too irresistible. With idle hands due to no classes or full - time work M. S. has ample time to aimlessly fuck around - or to get her shit together. I want to be better I want to be stable and solid. I don't want to keep aimlessly shifting between untenable situations. Harkness's bold precise black - and - white cartooning and eye for storytelling invites the reader in while her sharp wit and naturalist ear as a writer takes it away from there. Never didactic always real Time Under Tension is a spirited and assured work of graphic memoir.
