Email reminder from Lillian H. Smith branch of the Toronto Public Library:
Hi
Just a reminer that Michael DeForge’s book launch for Holy Lacrimony is tomorrow night, Wednesday March 12, 6-8pm.
Michael DeForge launches Holy Lacrimony in conversation with Glenn Sumi. It’s the post-alien abduction trauma memoir we’ve all been waiting for!
Holy Lacrimony is classic DeForge – oscillating between shockingly dirty, casually funny and earnestly engaged in the socio-politics of his fictive worlds. Part abstract shape blending and part hieroglyphic storytelling, each image is a discrete and tightly designed object of beauty that never loses the forward motion of the best personal cartooning. DeForge continues to prove that he’s the single most innovative and empathetic cartoonist in the past twenty years.
This launch event is part of the Toronto Lit Up programme, which is designed to spotlight new works and empower Toronto’s writers. Toronto Lit Up is funded by the Toronto Arts Council and spearheaded by the Toronto International Festival of Authors.
Books will be for sale by The Beguiling Book Store.
