Set amidst the chaos of a 1950s summer weekend on Coney Island, Ellen Lindner’s Undertow tells the story of Rhonda, a girl overwhelmed by events beyond her control — her mother's alcoholism, her best friend's death by drowning — and now a social worker who's intent on making it all better.
"Beautifully drawn in a sinuous, sharp style, Lindner's characters are unforgettable..." Jessica Abel (La Perdida, Artbabe).
