Curious what exactly all this graphic medicine stuff I'm always rambling on about is and/or how it relates to my role as a librarian? Had a chance to discuss just that with A. David Lewis for Graphic Medicine Review! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ehajgvhk
I had a wonderful time talking with Matthew Noe about his work in librarianship and Graphic Medicine for GMR.

In this swoony and hilarious debut rom-com graphic novel, two former friends are trapped in a time loop together, repeating their high school graduation day over and over and over.

“Hunsinger explores what it’s like to be an especially inexperienced fish out of water in this vibrant, comedic character sketch.” —Publishers Weekly Congratulations to Emma Hunsinger ‘20 on her debut graphic novel, HOW IT ALL ENDS by HarperCollins Publishers Greenwillow Books. It releases 8/6 wherever books are sold! You can pre-order it now! “Hunsinger’s distinctive style. . . is reminiscent of doodles in the margins of student notebooks and perfectly suits the subject matter. . . . Tara’s voice rings true, and readers will find much to relate to in her various social and emotional struggles. Frequent moments of humor create a lighthearted tone despite Tara’s overall angst. . . . A slice of life that’s as imaginative as its protagonist.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Self-Esteem and the End of the World (such an excellent title) may be described as autofiction. But the word “cartoon” is key here, because while regular autofiction is rarely funny – more often, it’s the polar opposite – Healy’s book is hilarious.” –The Guardian https://lnkd.in/d2hqSCjX Pick up a copy of The Center for Cartoon Studies alum Luke Healy's latest: Self-Esteem and the End of the World Quietly funny, smartly introspective, and grounded in deeply-felt familial highs and lows, Self-Esteem and the End of the World ponders what happens when the person you are isn’t who you need to be, who you are when nobody’s watching, and ultimately, who can you possibly be at the end of the world? https://lnkd.in/eh_pWyfk
