The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal

Summary

"In the span of a single day, Amal Chakravarthy calls off his arranged marriage, comes out to his conservative parents, promptly gets disowned, goes on a bender . . . and wakes up the next morning to find TJ—a lanky, dreadlocked vagrant—frying eggs and singing Paul Simon in his kitchen. TJ claims that the two have made a drunken pact to drive all the way from Berkeley to Providence. As it happens, Amal promised his sister he'd be there for her graduation from Brown University. And TJ, well . . . TJ has his own reasons. TJ & Amal is the proud winner of the 2016 Lambda Literary Award for best LGBT Graphic Novel, and a 2016 Eisner Award nominee for Best Graphic Album Reprint!
