For any St. Louis area folks who might be interested, I'll be at Left Bank Books later this month for a graphic novel roundtable with some wonderful local comic-makers. Honored to be invited to be in such company! There'll be discussion, Q&A, and book signing if you want to come say hi!

Blackwax Boulevard by Dmitri Jackson

Blackwax Boulevard is a slice-of-life look at an eclectic group of record store clerks and the strange customers they must endure, while trying to keep their struggling store open for business.  See nerds, punks, metalheads, teenyboppers, bohos, hobos and every music lover in between explore life, pop culture and the eternally dusty record bin.

From The Rejectionist:

Guillotine #5: Censorship & Homophobia by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick

“It is speech and visibility that legitimate us. It is speech and visibility that give us any political power that we have”: A richly personal and incisive, previously unpublished 1990 essay from one of the most important critical theorists of the twentieth century on free speech, homophobia, and violence. As relevant now as it was the year it was written.

Guillotine #6: For Love or Money by Sarah Jaffe & Melissa Gira Grant

"The myth of the greedy poor person is a distraction from the real greed, the systemic greed that’s embedded in policy. This is our right to live lives that are enjoyable, not just to pursue happiness or whatever the damn cliché is": A conversation between the inimitable and formidable Sarah Jaffe and Melissa Gira Grant on sex, love, power, work, and how feelings have no part in the revolution.
