The Brooklyn Book Festival

My mom will be at The Brooklyn Book Festival this coming Sunday, signing copies of Letting It Go as well as paricipating on a panel entitled Mundane/Profane/Profound. Following are the details, booth numbers, times as well as a full description about the panel.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND:

11 am – 12 pm Miriam Katin signing at D+Q booths 141 + 142

1 – 2 pm “Mundane/Profane/Profound: What We Draw About When We Draw Comics” panel in the Brooklyn Historical Society Auditorium (128 Pierrepont Street), featuring Lisa Hanawalt and Miriam Katin

3pm – 4 pm Miriam Katin signing at D&Q booths.

Mundane/Profane/Profound: What We Draw About When We Draw Comics. Gag cartoonists and graphic novelists talk about the weird, wonderful, and sometimes shocking choices they make in their craft. Ben Katchor (Hand-Drying in America) offers urban fables where daily details lead to socio/political revelations. Lisa Hanawalt’s sexy/snarky one-pagers in My Dirty Dumb Eyes hinge on the vulnerability of showing it all. Miriam Katin’s thoughtful, witty memoir Letting it Go explores profound loss and forgiveness in the context of teeth whitening and stomach troubles. Ulli Lust’s punk travelogue This is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life lays bare body and soul. Moderated by Anne Ishii, translator, The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame. Featuring screen projection.

Special thanks to Goethe-Institut New York.

3 – 4 pm Lisa Hanawalt and Miriam Katin signing at D+Q booths 141 + 142
