    Kim: A Novel Idea is a graphic literary novel about a lonely millennial named Frankie, her boyfriend Jacob, their talking cat Catman, and an unhealthy obsession with Kim Kardashian. Faced with the difficulties of her life--her boyfriend's grief, her fear of failure, her sexual past, her millennial malaise--scrolling through photos of an uber-celebrity is the only way Frankie knows how to cope through escape. Kim: A Novel Idea gives us insight into the downfalls of contemporary living while asking: are digital identities the cure, or the poison to waking life? Kim: A Novel Idea is hilarious in the sense that it's brutally honest; real in the sense that it's relatable. Exploring politics--personal, political, social--to comment on university writing programs, intergenerational wealth, fame, #MeToo, love, and our multiple selves, there is something lovable about Frankie's insufferable attitude towards life; something deeply relatable about her self-doubt in convincing herself she's "never going to make anything of my goddamn, pathetic life." Why? Because, like us, Frankie is stuck in a capitalist cycle of celebrity marketing rings that target young women's insecurities about their bodies and accomplishments.
