We are thrilled to announce that Joe Sacco will make his first-ever appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in August!
Join Joe on Tuesday, August 13th at 8:30 PM as he demonstrates the power of comic journalism to grasp at the truth. He'll discuss his groud-breaking work Palestine, and hopefully give some hints to his upcoming Fantagraphics release, BUMF — a collection of all-new short humorous fiction in the vein of his satirical story in The Comics Journal #302.
Joe takes the stage again on Wednesday, August 14th at 7:00 PM alongside fellow guest-of-honor Chris Ware. In a talk moderated by Teddy Jamieson, they'll discuss the brilliance in bringing together word and image on the page.
Tickets are on sale now (here and here), so don't delay, get yours today before it's sold out!
The Edinburgh International Book Festival will be held at Charlotte Square Gardens at the west end of George Street, a minute away from Princes Street.
