Long Red Hair: A Graphic Memoir

In this graphic memoir, Fitzgerald paints a childhood full of sleepovers, playing dress-up, amateur fortune-telling, and renting scary movies. Yet, Fitzgerald suspects that she is unlike her friends. The book navigates a child's struggle with averageness, a preteen's budding bisexuality, and a young woman's return after rejection. She takes us from her first kiss to a life sworn to singlehood, while weaving in allusions to witches in history and popular culture and delving into the mystique of red hair and the nature of alternative romantic relationships.
