Lola Vendetta. Better Lola Alone Than in Bad Company

Raquel Riba Rossy

Publishing date:20 november 2024

Synopsis:

A sharp and witty must-read that chronicles the adventures and misadventures of Lola Vendetta, a fearless young woman who doesn’t mince her words and wields a katana to battle injustices

Lola Vendetta may have hairy legs, but she’s got a razor-sharp tongue. She’s a young woman allergic to injustices, irreverent and witty, who takes on everything she dislikes in life, starting with men who don’t respect, listen to, or entertain her. Lola wields satire with the same precision as she handles her katana against adversity.

For those who doubt... Here’s her motto: It’s my body. It’s my home. If you don’t like it, I couldn’t care less.

After ditching a dull and monotonous relationship, Lola faces her new life as a single woman, searching within herself for the acceptance and self-love she once sought in others. In this journey of self-discovery, the fierce and unflinching Lola Vendetta offers moments of both laughter and reflection.

If you’re not scared of revolutions and are all for evolutions, this is your book.

Reviews	“Reading Better Lola Alone Than in Bad Company is liberating, because even though some picky readers might find its message too intense, the truth is that someone had to unsheathe the katana.” —Luna Miguel, Playground “Better Lola Alone Than in Bad Company by Raquel Riba Rossy arrives, advocating self-sufficiency, vibrators, and armpit hair, as it should be. If you want to discover an illustrator with a lot to say (and draw) and who doesn’t mince words, don’t miss it.” —Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, Babelia (El País) “A markedly feminist illustrated book that has caused its author more than a few headaches. Lola Vendetta is a girl who, when she hears comments like ‘You look prettier when you’re quiet,’ ‘All women are the same,’ or ‘It’s obvious you’re on your period,’ she unsheathes her katana and beheads her interlocutor.” —Álvaro Colomer, El Mundo “Lola Vendetta gives voice to women’s silence through drawing [and] offers [...] a form of visual empowerment that reveals the most necessary, though uncomfortable, truths about the frustrations women experience in society.” —Concha García, La Razón
