Join Montr\u00e9al cartoonist Arizona O\u2019Neill as she launches her debut graphic memoir, Opioids & Organs, at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly on Tuesday, May 12th in conversation with Neil Smith at 7pm.<\/div>\n
In 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\u2019s death and her role as next of kin in making his life\u2019s last decision, she uncovers inconvenient truths about the organ industry\u2019s own codependence on the opioid crisis. The result is a damning critique of an industry that takes advantage of society\u2019s outcasts.<\/div>\n
Librairie Drawn & Quarterly is located at 176 Bernard O. in Montr\u00e9al.<\/div>\n
This event is FREE to attend for all!<\/div>\n
