ABOUT THE BOOK

A Washington Post and American Library Association Best Graphic Novel of the Year, an Asian Pacific American Literature Award Honoree

“Gorgeously illustrated . . . Ahn’s dual journey as a self-taught artist and fierce advocate of environmental equality for disadvantaged communities forms the foundation of his insightful new book.” — Zack Ruskin, San Francisco Chronicle

“Amid his tireless (and humble) advocacy, Ahn also proves himself as an impressive self-taught artist, including winning an art contest to beautify utility boxes throughout San Francisco. His debut memoir, too, is a remarkable achievement, full of clean lines, precise panels, exquisite details, and soft color washes. . . . An essential lesson for all.” Booklist

“Ahn debuts with a warmhearted homage to community work that also captures the complex pressures on children of immigrants . . . readers who have heeded the call of people over profit will find resonance here.” Publishers Weekly

A national bestseller, Advocate is a moving graphic memoir following Eddie Ahn, an environmental justice lawyer and activist striving to serve diverse communities in San Francisco amidst environmental catastrophes, an accelerating tide of racial and economic inequality, burnout, and his family’s expectations.
