Incognegro graphic novel7/8/2023 White is the inspiration behind “Incognegro,” the graphic novel by literary prose writer Mat Johnson and British artist Warren Pleece. He used his white looks to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and wrote many on-the-scene articles exposing the horrors of lynching. This is Walter Francis White who, despite his appearance, was a black man. If you look at photos of NAACP leadership from the 1930s, you’ll find a wiry, professorial-looking man with blond hair and fair skin at the center of many. “Incognegro” by Mat Johnson, art by Warren Pleece (Vertigo, 134 pages, $19.99)

The Maximortal by Rick Veitch7/7/2023 Related: The Boys: Why Black Noir Actor Is Happy About His Character's Kryptonite So far, it sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it? The metallic womb crashes back to Earth decades later and is retrieved by an elderly couple who raise the child as their own. The series begins in 1908 when an alien impregnates herself and tosses the growing baby into space. At the end of the day, Maximortal is the story of the rise to global dominance by a stranger from another world who becomes omnipresent on Earth. Maximortal uses the universally known origin of Superman in creates a cynical, violent series that explores both behind the myth and the unlucky people who come in contact with such a being. In 1992, Veitch followed this up with the seven-issue Maximortal which, again, dove into the darker side of superheroes.

Gradually, we learn about Amy and about Julia. Julia is gone, she knows, because of her. She hates her therapist, her parents and the kids at school, but mostly she hates herself. She misses her friend with an aching, searing emptiness that she is certain nothing will ever fill or change. She’s insecure, battling temptation to fall back into old habits and, above all, lonely. This is not a fairy tale world.Īs Amy tries to go back to living a life that is irrevocably changed after an incident several months in the past, we come to know her. She narrates the book in the first person and through a series of short letters to her friend Julia. Amy is a high school junior, tall and with the kind of red hair that makes her stand out against her will. Avoiding this large, difficult to escape pitfall is the greatest strength of Love You Hate You Miss You.Īuthor Elizabeth Scott presents to us the story of Amy. I understand the desire of authors to avoid talking down to their audience, but in the process I think they sometimes lose credibility with the same kids by sounding too much like an adult telling kids how they should feel. A 14-year-old too often sounds more like my friends than my daughter. One of the issues I frequently see in Young Adult fiction is that the characters think, speak and act too much like adults.

The wolf den hardcover7/6/2023 In “Lizards,” a man mutes his wife’s anxieties by giving her a LaCroix-like seltzer laced with sedatives. Moving from the peculiarities of Florida to liminal spaces of travel in Mexico City, Sicily, and Iceland, I Hold a Wolf by the Ears is uncannily attuned to our current moment, and to the fears we reveal to no one but ourselves. Both timeless and urgent, these eleven stories confront misogyny, violence, and the impossible economics of America with van den Berg’s trademark spiky humor and surreal eye. I Hold a Wolf by the Ears, Laura van den Berg’s first story collection since her prizewinning book The Isle of Youth, draws readers into a world of wholly original, sideways ghost stories that linger in the mouth and the mind. "As enchanting as fairy tales, as mysterious as dreams, these exquisitely composed fictions are as urgent and original as any being written today.” -Sigrid Nunez, author of The Friend, winner of the 2018 National Book Award for FictionĪn urgent and unsettling collection of women on the verge from Laura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR, Bustle, Good Housekeeping, the New York Public Library, Library Journal, Lit Hub, Electric Literature, and Tor.com Longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. ONE OF TIME'S 10 BEST FICTION BOOKS OF 2020. |
