Abstract
Neoliberalism’s supersession of Keynesian liberalism has also meant that the cultural forms, like the novel, that rose to prestige within liberalism have lost some of their status. Within neoliberalism other cultural forms, like television and the graphic narrative (comics) have consequently better registered the current moment. In this way, the novel’s future is predicted by work in these previously lesser-acclaimed media. Emil Ferris’s My Favorite Thing is Monsters, a graphic narrative about a young Latinx lesbian coming of age and self-awareness, typifies the perspective of these other forms, especially as they construct a cultural politics of intersectionality that brings together different groups in a new social and political alliance or counter-hegemony.
