A portrait of creative stagnation¸ digital saturation¸ and the strange¸ sideways momentum of post-modern life. Laura has just received a prestigious grant to write her debut novel¸ and everyone around her agrees that things seem to finally be falling into place for her. Instead¸ she finds herself increasingly numb and detached from reality—half-heartedly meeting up with friends at the gym¸ struggling to fulfil her role as a daughter¸ and managing an abstract relationship with a married man. Haunted by lingering memories of a toxic youth she can’t escape¸ Laura is stuck in a strange limbo¸ unable to draw a cohesive plot for her life¸ her hopes¸ or her future. Wry¸ elliptical¸ and intimate¸ Physical Education perfectly captures the quiet absurdities of the algorithmic age and the familiar ways in which we scroll¸ strive¸ sweat¸ and stall our way through the world. A smart¸ emotionally resonant work for readers of Jillian Tamaki’s Boundless and The Hard Tomorrow by Eleanor Davis. The first-ever graphic novel to be a National Illustration Award of Portugal Highlight Book!
