Über dieses Buch
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn’t imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships and work—and above all, herself— radically changed.
Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Štěpánka Jislová.
A personal memoir about how one’s sense of self is impacted by an alopecia diagnosis.
An estimated 6.7 million people in the United States and 160 million people worldwide have alopecia areata.
Originally published by Czech publisher Paseka in 2020; rights have subsequently been sold in French, Greek, and Slovenian.
Bald was awarded the Czech Republic's annual Muriel Award for the best comic book.
Tereza Čechová and Štěpánka Jislová are cofounders of Komiksodějky, the Czech branch of the organization Laydeez do Comics, which promotes the work of female comic book authors. Jislová is the (co)author of seven comic books, including SUPRO and Heartcore. Both creators are available for interviews.
