For Jesse – Art Spiegelman at Strand 10/22

Filed under: Uncategorized @ 8:58 am

Hey Jesse,

Think you might be interested in this event:

Art Spiegelman, Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist As A Young %@&*!

October 22 07:00PM – 08:30PM

The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form… and how it formed him! The first part of Breakdowns traces the artist’s evolution from a MAD-comics obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the effect of his parents’ memories of Auschwitz on his son. The second part presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought-after collection of the artist’s comics of the 1970s, the book that triggers these memories. Art will share his poignant, funny, innovative memoir with us.

**events are held on the second floor at the 828 Broadway location
