Description
WTF is going on? How can I find joy in these precarious times? Is my smartphone hijacking me? Why am I so horny? What do I do with this grief? What's it like being the slug that lives in my bathroom sink?
Eventually Everything Connects is Sarah Firth's debut graphic novel, a collection of interconnected visual essays created over eight years. Sarah invites you into her wild mind as she explores ways to see with fresh eyes, to face the inevitability of change, and to find freedom in sensuality.
With raw honesty and vulnerability, Firth reminds us that the profane and the sacred, the tender and the cruel, the rigorous and the silly, all coexist in dynamic tension. This book is a delicious mix of daily life, science, philosophy and irreverent humour that is comforting, confronting and mind-expanding in equal measure.

Critic Reviews
'Absolutely delightful . . . deserves returning to over and over. Sarah Firth is a marvel.' Michelle Law
'A wise, funny and challenging book about people, the world and everything.' Ronnie Scott
'Leaves you with a deep appreciation for how very strange it is to be alive.' Jessica Abel
'In Eventually Everything Connects, Sarah Firth invites us to wander through her mind, and what a wonder her mind is: a tangled rhizome teeming with curiosity and humble hilarity, contradiction and harmony. This book announces her as a brilliant contemporary philosopher and master of the graphic essay form, guiding us to ask better questions about what it means to see, and ultimately, to be.' Eloise Grills
'Sarah's stories feel like time spent with a friend where the mysteries of the human experience are deeply explored in a relatable and vibrant space.' Mandy Ord
'Eventually Everything Connects replicates thought and experience in a way only comics are able to do: poignantly rendering mind and body in Sarah's sumptuous art. Underpinned by a sense of playful humour, philosophical engagement and appreciative wonder, this book is a hymn to the delightful entanglements which join us to the natural world and to each other.' Safdar Ahmed
'Reading this book is like taking a long walk with a dear, smart friend. As you turn the pages you round corners, you traverse worlds.' Elizabeth MacFarlane
