THE BIG SHE-BANG - MARISA ACOCELLA GEBUNDEN

One of O Magazine's Best Books of Fall 2020 One of Comics Beat's Most Anticipated Graphic
Novels for Fall 2020Writing as if in a fever dream  iconic New Yorker cartoonist Marisa
Acocella channels God the Mother and all of the goddesses  saints and sinners  and real-life
women from our storied past in this epic retelling that begins with the Big She-Bang. The rest
as they say  is herstory.Hilarious  profound  and (at times) profane  The Big She-Bang is
virtuosic storytelling in which the rules are bent back to where they should have started in
the first place. It is abundantly clear that the past has been recorded in big books written by
a bunch of men about a bunch of men. Now Acocella challenges our understanding of humanity's
past with her own Big Book.Narrated by God the Mother  The Big She-Bang celebrates the
Shevolutionaries: a goddess roster that includes Eve  the Marys (Virgin Mother and Magdalene) 
Persephone  Sophia  Isis  Pope Joan  the Suffragettes  Gloria Steinem  Tarana Burke  Malala 
and more. By Klieg-lighting the ways women have been erased  vilified  and dominated across
eons-blamed for original sin  destruction  betrayal  witchery  and other assorted (and false)
evils and ills-Acocella sets the story straight from the beginning of time to the present day.
Not to be exclusionary  this new herstory features cameos from Yaldabaoth  Zeus  Noah  and the
Rapacious Phalluses on the rampage. In the end  what hangs in the balance is nothing less than
the future of humanity and Mother Earth herself.
