Kate Beaton recounts the two years she spent working in Alberta’s oil sands to pay off student debt. Through spare, expressive comics, she observes isolation, exhausting labor, environmental extraction, class, masculinity, harassment, and the complicated lives of workers far from home. Ducks is both a personal memoir and a broader portrait of an industry that consumes land and people while sustaining communities dependent on it. Beaton approaches that contradiction with honesty, anger, empathy, and restraint.
