SUMMARY:Toronto\, ON: Ho Che Anderson (Godhead 2) in conversation with Peter Birkemoe (The Beguiling\, TCAF) at the Toronto Public Library\, Lillian H. Smith Branch
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Ho Che Anderson (Godhead 1\, King) in conversation with Peter Birkemoe (The Beguiling\, TCAF) at the Lillian H. Smith branch of the Toronto Public Library! They’ll be discussing his newest book\, Godhead 2\, the concluding volume and resolution to the futuristic corporate thriller! \nThis event is co-hosted by The Beguiling and the Merril Collection of Science Fiction\, Speculation & Fantasy. \nAbout the book: In the second and concluding volume of Godhead\, GH2 picks up from where GH1 ended\, with Racer Calhoun and the rest of Cadre Zeus finally learning why they’ve been assembled: to destroy Oceanus\, the scientific facility traveling through the Pacific housing the God machine introduced in volume one. They undertake what they hope will be a routine intelligence gathering mission on Oceanus that turns into a desperate fight for survival through the city from which Racer had fled\, and leads to a reunion with Carys\, the great love of his life. \nFinally the cadre are ready to confront Oceanus and put an end to the God machine once and for all. The story’s finale upends the usual narrative expectations and concludes with a somber private epiphany that results in the triumph of human reason over a technocratic/supernatural savior. \nPart Boy’s Own adventure genre\, part men-on-a-mission yarn\, part formal playground through which the author can exercise his restless obsessions\, Godhead 2 is the action-based resolution to the psychological drama of the first volume.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia\, PA: Tommi Parrish (Men I Trust) Book Launch and Exhibition with Sally Madden (Thick Lines Podcast) at Partners and Son
DESCRIPTION:Hey Philly\, don’t miss Tommi Parrish’s Men I Trust book launch and exhibition at Partners and Son! They’ll be joined in conversation by Sally Madden (Thick Lines Podcast) on January 21st at 6:00 pm! \nAbout the book: Tommi Parrish’s sophomore graphic novel establishes them as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary literature. \nEliza is a thirtysomething struggling single mother and poet. Sasha\, a twentysomething yearning for direction in life\, just moved back in with her parents and dabbles as a sex worker. The two strike up an unlikely friendship that\, as it veers toward something more\, becomes a deeply resonant exploration of how far people are wil­ling to go to find intimacy in a society that is increasingly not conducive to it. \nIn Sasha and Eliza\, Parrish has created two of the most fully realized characters in recent contemporary fiction. Parrish’s gorgeously painted pages showcase a graceful understanding of body language and ear for dialogue\, brilliantly using the medium of comics to depict the dissonance between the characters’ interior and exterior experiences. Men I Trust is about not-always-healthy people attempting to make healthy connections in a disconnected world\, and is one of the most moving and insightful works of literary fiction in any medium this year.

SUMMARY:Los Angeles\, CA: Tommi Parrish (Men I Trust) in conversation with Ron Regé\, Jr. (Halcyon) at Skylight Books
DESCRIPTION:Hey LA\, don’t miss Tommi Parrish at Skylight Books! They’ll be discussing their newest book\, Men I Trust\, with Ron Regé\, Jr. (Halcyon) on January 31st at 7:00 pm. \nAbout Men I Trust: Eliza is a thirtysomething struggling single mother and poet. Sasha\, a twentysomething yearning for direction in life\, just moved back in with her parents and dabbles as a sex worker. The two strike up an unlikely friendship that\, as it veers toward something more\, becomes a deeply resonant exploration of how far people are wil­ling to go to find intimacy in a society that is increasingly not conducive to it. \nIn Sasha and Eliza\, Parrish has created two of the most fully realized characters in recent contemporary fiction. Parrish’s gorgeously painted pages showcase a graceful understanding of body language and ear for dialogue\, brilliantly using the medium of comics to depict the dissonance between the characters’ interior and exterior experiences. Men I Trust is about not-always-healthy people attempting to make healthy connections in a disconnected world\, and is one of the most moving and insightful works of literary fiction in any medium this year. \nAbout Halcyon: The sleeping figure on the cover hints at the dream logic that drives this visual feast of a graphic novel. It can’t all be explained\, and it isn’t meant to be explained. Ron Regé\, Jr. is one of the singular cartoonists of his generation\, an unusual but skilled stylist and storyteller with an acutely passionate moral and idealistic core that stands out amongst his peers. Halcyon is a spiritual cousin to Regé’s 2012 graphic novel The Cartoon Utopia\, which has garnered a following in new age and hermeneutic studies circles and in which higher beings try to communicate with us through art\, music\, and storytelling — a theme revisited here via the book’s central characters. Halcyon is the work of a cartoonist at the height of his powers\, a superlative use of the form in the service of relating the author’s compassionate — and visually stunning — worldview. \n
