Fury is the queer, non-binary author of the stunning graphic memoir “I Don’t Understand How Emotions Work” that weaves straight forward dialogue with emotive imagery to mimic the drifting and coming-together of the conscious and subconscious; thought and emotion. It interrogates the notion of selfhood, asking the question: if who we are is constructed through our memories, what does that say about the integrity of our identities?

You can buy a copy of “I Don’t Understand How Emotions Work” here. 

Fury is also a prolific writer, whose work you can read on their website Fury Writes.
