In My Darkest Hour

• About the book

The Age of Anxiety has never been better depicted in comics form than in this modernist, mainstream graphic novel that explores the inner life of its protagonist, Omar Guerrero, a 28 year-old Latin American transient, who confronts his pervasive feelings of inadequacy, anger, guilt and escalating alientation. His tumultuous sexual liaisons with younger women, an attempt to deny his fading youth, force him to question his own nature and values. In My Darkest Hour is a harrowing meditation on human angst, painful subjectivity and the quintessential quest of self.
