520    "From the author of Fun Home, a profoundly affecting 
       graphic memoir of Bechdel's lifelong love affair with 
       exercise, set against a hilarious chronicle of fitness 
       fads in our times"--|cProvided by publisher 
520    "Comics and cultural superstar Alison Bechdel delivers a 
       deeply layered story of her fascination, from childhood to
       adulthood, with every fitness craze to come down the pike:
       from Jack LaLanne in the 60s ("Outlandish jumpsuit! 
       Cantaloupe-sized guns!") to the existential oddness of 
       present-day spin class. Readers will see their athletic or
       semi-active pasts flash before their eyes through an ever-
       evolving panoply of running shoes, bicycles, skis, and 
       sundry other gear. But the more Bechdel tries to improve 
       herself, the more her self appears to be the thing in her 
       way. She turns for enlightenment to Eastern philosophers 
       and literary figures, including Beat writer Jack Kerouac, 
       whose search for self-transcendence in the great outdoors 
       appears in moving conversation with the author’s own. This
       gifted artist and not-getting-any-younger exerciser comes 
       to a soulful conclusion. The secret to superhuman strength
       lies not in six-pack abs, but in something much less 
       clearly defined: facing her own non-transcendent but all-
       important interdependence with others."--Jacket.
