SUMMARY:Arizona O'Neill launches Opioids & Organs in conversation with Neil Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join Montréal cartoonist Arizona O’Neill as she launches her debut graphic memoir\, Opioids & Organs\, at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly on Tuesday\, May 12th in conversation with Neil Smith at 7pm.\nIn Opioids & Organs\, a distraught\, young Arizona makes a decision that will haunt her for the rest of her life. As she struggles to come to terms with her father’s death and her role as next of kin in making his life’s last decision\, she uncovers inconvenient truths about the organ industry’s own codependence on the opioid crisis. The result is a damning critique of an industry that takes advantage of society’s outcasts.\nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly is located at 176 Bernard O. in Montréal.\nThis event is FREE to attend for all!\n//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nArizona O’Neill is a Montreal-based author and illustrator.
