Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Sophie Yanow

Join us for a multimedia reading event: acclaimed cartoonists will take us on a journey with words and pictures, reading nonfiction, literary fiction, and memoir, as their drawings are projected. Readings from Donna Almendrala, Rina Ayuyang, JF Frankel, Justin Hall, and Frederick Noland, hosted by Sophie Yanow. If you are graphic-novel-curious, this is a great introduction to the medium.
