SUMMARY:Los Angeles\, CA: Jaime Hernandez (Life Drawing) Book Launch at Skylight Books
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Jaime Hernandez’s book launch for Life Drawing: A Love and Rockets Collection at Skylight Books on 2/27! \nAbout the book: Ten years in the making (and torn from the pages of the legendary Love and Rockets)\, Jaime Hernandez’s newest graphic novel skillfully weaves two generations of his beloved characters into a satisfying story of love—both young and middle-aged. Life Drawing darts primarily between the youthful Tonta and the venerable Maggie. Tonta has a crush on her art teacher\, Ray\, as well as an axe to grind with an older woman in the neighborhood. When Tonta finds that the woman\, Maggie\, is married to Ray\, things get complicated. And Tonta does not handle complications well. \nLife Drawing showcases Hernandez’s brilliant talent for character\, weaving relationships\, rejections\, infidelities\, and adventures involving: Tonta’s self-involved sisters Vivian\, Violet\, and Muñeca; her colorful pals Gomez\, Judy Fair\, and Brown Alice; her mother\, the infamous ‘Black Widow of the Valley’; and of course\, the two great loves of Maggie’s life\, Ray and Hopey. There’s also a forest spirit\, two weddings\, some cosplay\, a little pole dancing\, and page after page of breathtaking comics by the medium’s most wide-eyed romantic. Did we mention the weddings?

SUMMARY:Greensboro\, NC: Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Jennifer Whitaker (The Blue Hour) at Scuppernong Books
DESCRIPTION:Kayla E. in conversation with Jennifer Whitaker \nA landmark graphic novel debut and groundbreaking work of trauma recollection told in the style of post-war children’s comics. \n“If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet\, then every panel I’ve finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember.” Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls\, satirical advertisements\, games\, and puzzles. \nWhile the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism\, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. \nThe debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E.\, Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps\, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process\, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author\, the subject\, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. \nKAYLA E. (she/her) is an award-winning Texas-born artist of Mexican American descent. She works as creative director at Fantagraphics and is a recipient of a 2023-2024 Princeton Hodder Fellowship. She is the co-founder and former President of Nat. Brut Inc.\, a non-profit that produces an art and literary magazine\, of which she was the Editor-in-Chief for nine years. She earned her B.A. in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University\, where she served as the Art Director for the Harvard Lampoon. Precious Rubbish\, her graphic novel debut\, is a work of trauma recollection told in the style of post-war children’s comics. Kayla lives in North Carolina with her wife and two dogs. You can find her at kaylaework.com and on Instagram @precious.rubbish. \nJENNIFER WHITAKER is the author of The Blue Hour\, winner of the Brittingham Prize and published from the University of Wisconsin Press in 2016. Her poems have appeared in journals including Radar Poetry\, New England Review\, Beloit Poetry Journal\, and Four Way Review. Originally from Midlothian\, Virginia\, Jennifer earned her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is an assistant poetry editor at storySouth. She currently lives in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, where she is Director of the University Writing Center at UNCG.

SUMMARY:Richmond\, VA: Kayla E (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Dr. Francesca Lyn at the Graphic Narratives Lab
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThe Graphic Narratives Lab\, in collaboration with independent artist Rae Whitlock\, is hosting an artist talk with Kayla E.\, creative director of Fantagraphics\, in conversation with Dr. Francesa Lyn\, co-director of the Graphic Narratives Lab. The talk will be about Kayla E.’s forthcoming graphic memoir\, Precious Rubbish\, followed by a book signing. Register here! \nAbout the Book:\nKayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls\, satirical advertisements\, games\, and puzzles. \nWhile the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism\, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. \nThe debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E.\, Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps\, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection.

Her comics practice centers around her childhood and functions as a map-making exercise. Leaning heavily on the fixed compositional structure and aesthetic codes of post-war American comics\, she imposes order onto recollections once disorganized by intrafamilial abuse\, addiction\, and sexual violence. Her textile work and painting practice are concerned with memories that present as unmappable. She currently works as the creative director at Fantagraphics and is the co-founder and former president of Nat. Brut Inc. She holds a B.A. from Harvard University\, where she received the Albert Alcalay Prize in Visual Arts and served as the art director for the Harvard Lampoon. Kayla is also a public speaker and has been invited to speak about her work at universities and conferences across the country. In 2023\, she was granted a Princeton Hodder Fellowship to support the completion of her first book.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia\, PA: Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Kelsey McKinney (You Didn't Hear This From Me) at Partners and Son
DESCRIPTION:Kayla E. will be discussing Precious Rubbish\, her landmark graphic memoir\, with Kelsey McKinney\, the author of You Didn’t Hear This From Me\, at Partners and Son on April 9th! \nAbout Precious Rubbish: “If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet\, then every panel I’ve finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember.” Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls\, satirical advertisements\, games\, and puzzles. \nWhile the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism\, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. \nThe debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E.\, Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps\, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process\, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author\, the subject\, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. \nAbout You Didn’t Hear This From Me: Can you keep a secret? As the pandemic forced us to socialize at a distance\, Kelsey McKinney was mourning the juicy updates\, jaw-dropping stories\, and idle chatter that she’d typically collect over drinks with friends. She realized she wasn’t the only one missing these little morsels and her hunger for normalcy took on a life of its own\, and the blockbuster Normal Gossip podcast was born. With listenership in the millions and gossip quickly becoming her day job\, Kelsey found herself with the urge to think more critically about gossip as a form\, to better understand the role that it plays in our culture. \nIn You Didn’t Hear This From Me\, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin and how can we better recognize when gossip is being weaponized against the oppressed? Why do we think we’re entitled to every detail of a celebrity’s personal life because they are a public figure? And how do we even define “gossip\,” anyway? She dishes on the art of eavesdropping and dives deep into how pop culture has changed the way that we look at hearsay. But as much as the book aims to treat gossip as a subject worthy of rigor\, it also hopes to capture the heart of gossiping: how enchanting and fun it can be to lean over and whisper something a little salacious into your friend’s ear. With wit and honesty\, McKinney unmasks what we’re actually searching for when we demand to know the truth – and how much the truth really matters in the first place.

SUMMARY:Asheville\, NC: Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Tessa Fontaine (The Electric Woman) at Malaprop's Books
DESCRIPTION:“This four-color atomic bomb of a comic signals the arrival of a formidable talent.” — Publishers Weekly Starred Review \nKayla E. will be discussing Precious Rubbish\, her landmark graphic memoir\, with Tessa Fontaine\, the author of The Electric Woman: A Memoir in Death-Defying Acts\, at Malaprop’s Books on April 16th! \nAbout Precious Rubbish: “If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet\, then every panel I’ve finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember.” Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest.

The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process\, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author\, the subject\, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. \nAbout The Electric Woman: Two journeys—a daughter’s and a mother’s—bear witness to this lesson in The Electric Woman. \nFor three years Tessa Fontaine lived in a constant state of emergency as her mother battled stroke after stroke. But hospitals\, wheelchairs\, and loss of language couldn’t hold back such a woman; she and her husband would see Italy together\, come what may. Thus Fontaine became free to follow her own piper\, a literal giant inviting her to “come play” in the World of Wonders\, America’s last traveling sideshow. How could she resist? \nTransformed into an escape artist\, a snake charmer\, and a high-voltage Electra\, Fontaine witnessed the marvels of carnival life: intense camaraderie and heartbreak\, the guilty thrill of hard-earned cash exchanged for a peek into the impossible\, and\, most marvelous of all\, the stories carnival folks tell about themselves. Through these\, Fontaine trained her body to ignore fear and learned how to keep her heart open in the face of loss. \nA story for anyone who has ever imagined running away with the circus\, wanted to be someone else\, or wanted a loved one to live forever\, The Electric Woman is ultimately about death-defying acts of all kinds\, especially that ever constant: good old-fashioned unconditional love.
