While Telgemeier may have found the basis for her latest graphic novel–cum-memoir, Guts, in her own life experience, that didn’t mean it was an easy story to tell. “But after doing that for 25 years,” she says, “I realized the ideas, the stories, were right there.” “I thought if you wanted to be a writer, you had to be somebody who made stuff up, and I wasn’t one of those kids.” And so her comics became a diary of sorts, something private and personal that she did for herself without any intention of sharing. “I had a really hard time coming up with ideas,” she recalls. For a “lack of other stories,” she chose to focus on the everyday, on life as she saw it unfolding around her. From the age of 9, enamored by the comic strips she read in newspapers, Telgemeier began creating her own. Raina Telgemeier was producing autobiographical comics long before the runaway success of her New York Times bestselling graphic novels Smile (2010) and Sisters(2014).

Shortly after graduating from college, she played the role of Susie, the compassionate nurse who tends to Vivian throughout her treatments, in a reading mounted by the UCSD San Diego School of Medicine. Cronican herself also has cancer, and like her character’s it is also Stage 4.Ĭronican is no stranger to Edson’s Pulitzer-winning work. But for Cronican, the challenging role of Vivian Bearing, a literature professor undergoing grueling chemotherapy treatments, which she is playing at the Seeing Place Theater in New York City through Jan. Producing and starring in Wit, Margaret Edson’s chronicle of a woman’s battle with cancer, during a deadly pandemic would seem a Herculean task for many. The actor, singer, and director has starred in Shakespeare’s tragedies and Marsha Norman’s ‘night, Mother, as well as co-directing and serving as the dramaturg for the dark comedy The Pillowman. Erin Cronican (she/her) isn’t afraid to talk about death. Teenager Marek has become bitter and withdrawn since an attack by a Rottweiler grossly disfigured his face. Young Berlin writer Alina Bronsky has drawn readers worldwide with her first two books, "Broken Glass Park" and "The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine." "Just Call Me Superhero" is another quick, sweet read with great characters and deep poignancy lurking inside a comic drama. (Europa Editions, 240 pages, $16 paperback.) Seven Letters from Paris, Samantha Verantīy Alina Bronsky translated from the German by Tim Mohr. The drama tends to fade as the happiness increases, but readers probably will not begrudge that in exchange for the chance to travel along and reflect on their own lives' crossroads. Part travelogue, part love story, Vérant's memoir will remind readers of Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love." But where Gilbert's quest to reclaim herself eventually led to love, Vérant's is a search to reclaim love that leads to self-discovery. She e-mails him, he e-mails back and - voilà! - the flame is rekindled. Goaded into action by her friend, Samantha digs out the letters, turns to the Internet and tracks down Jean-Luc, now a rocket scientist in Toulouse, with two children and his own failing marriage. It's a memoir, and what follows is a true love story that rivals any rom com. But "Seven Letters From Paris" is not a novel. What she did have was a best friend and seven love letters from a guy she'd had one hot date with. Laid off from her job, miserable in her marriage, deep in debt. Samantha Vérant didn't have much going for her. Moebius’s art weaves intricate grounds with cartoonish figures into a dense texture that accomplishes for the novel what the sometimes thin writing cannot-the creation of a world, or, in this case, a universe. Rising from the ruins of Jodorowsky’s abortive Dune adaptation, The Incal is both ludicrous and sublime as a half-satirical and all-visionary tour of variously cosmic locales, from dystopian noir pit-cities to sea planets patrolled by giant jellyfish. DiFool journeys to save the cosmos in the company of his sometime lover Animah (i.e., his Jungian anima, or female aspect) and some other allegorical figures on behalf and with the aid of the titular Incal, a device that incarnates the animating spirit of the universe. This classic 1980s science fiction graphic novel is the tale of John DiFool (i.e., the fool of the Tarot, representing human freedom and stupidity). The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius “A stunning work of reconstructed family and world history” ( Booklist Online). “This memoir feels not just created but also deeply lived” ( The Washington Post). Bui documents parental sacrifice, excavates family histories, and grapples with the inherited struggles of displacement and diaspora. An American Book Award winner, a National Book Critics Circle finalist in autobiography, and an Eisner Award finalist in reality-based comics, Bui’s memoir traces her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Việt Nam in the 1970s and their effort to build new lives for themselves in America. Twelve years later, the debut graphic memoir would be released to widespread acclaim from critics and literary heavyweights alike. Before she began to work on The Best We Could Do in 2005, Thi Bui had never drawn a comic in her life. It was, she felt, a sign from God-proof that England should return to the Catholic Church. In a stroke of fate, however, Henry's much-longed-for son died in his teens, leaving Mary the legitimate heir to the throne. Lonely and miserable, Mary turned for comfort to the religion that had sustained her mother. Worst of all, she never saw her beloved mother again Katharine was exiled too, and died soon after. He divorced her mother and, at the age of twelve, Mary was banished from her father’s presence, stripped of her royal title, and replaced by his other children-first Elizabeth, then Edward. The father who had once adored her was now intent on having a male heir at all costs. But her father's ill-fated love for Anne Boleyn would shatter Mary's life forever. Red-haired like her father, she was also intelligent and deeply religious like her staunchly Catholic mother. She was the daughter of Henry's first queen, Katharine of Aragon, and was heir presumptive to the throne of England. As Henry VIII's only child, the future seemed golden for Princess Mary. |
