Graphic Fiction

Hi, My "Washington Post Book World" comics for the ongoing series, "The Writing Life," came out early to be in time for the Fourth of July. Marie Arana, the editor, wrote a profile on my work. Cut and paste the link below to read the piece. Marie is the highly respected author of "American Chica":

When you get there, click "Against Forgetting," and you'll get the image below. I was asked to do this in color, but I wanted to use pure b&w to depict the Tiananmen Massacre.



This is just a slice of the longer graphic novel, "Forget Sorrow."

OK, this looks awesome, I'm going to find the graphic novel.

Awesome indeed. She makes really really purty pictures:

But apparently "Forget Sorrow" due out through W. W. Norton, is still a work in progress. I'm looking forward to it's publication.
