Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands
by Kate Beaton
🏆 Winner of the 2024 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature
In this award-winning graphic memoir, creator Kate Beaton documents her time working in a modern-day oil town in Alberta, Canada—in a bid to pay off her student debts. Expect vast landscapes, colossal machinery, and culture shock amid this most male-dominated of communities. An accessible and engaging book that pairs beautifully with John Vaillant's Fire Weather, a Baillie Gifford Prize-winning account of the extreme wildfire that razed the settlement in 2016.
