RAT TIME - Softcover

"Roberts' book is sweet without sentimentality, sour without caustic meanness, and generous to both its subjects and its readers." - Edwin Turner, Biblioklept "With Rat Time, Keiler Roberts has given herself permission to go all-out in an attempt to be funny, knowing that her commitment to emotional honesty and deep sincerity will keep her and her readers grounded in reality." - Rob Clough, Your Chicken Enemy "Picking up where Chlorine Gardens left off, Keiler Roberts' graphic memoir, Rat Time, wanders artfully and unannounced into memories." - Chris Gavaler, Pop Matters "Ignatz Award-winner Roberts (Chlorine Gardens) continues to gently guide readers on meandering, illuminating rambles through the quotidian in this newest autobiographical instalment." - Publishers Weekly

Pet deaths and parenting, embarrassing childhood memories and mental illness, Roberts documents her daily life's minutiae, its up and downs, with the deftness of an observational comedian. Her comics demonstrate that sometimes life can deal you a punch to the gut, but it doesn't have to be devoid of a punch line.
