Filmmaker Miranda July discusses her debut novel with Lena Dunham; legendary cartoonists Matt Groening and Lynda Barry compare storyboard ideas; and authors Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler present a no-holds-barred evening of camaraderie. Tickets go on sale September 29 (September 22 for Friends of BAM). For ticket information call BAM Ticket Services at 718.636.4100 or visit www.BAM.org. Miranda July in Conversation With host Lena Dunham BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Jan 28 at 8pm Tickets: $35, 45, 50 “Miranda July's ability to pervert norms while embracing what makes us normal is astounding. Writing in the first person with the frank, odd lilt of an utterly truthful character, she will make you laugh, cringe and recognize yourself in a woman you never planned to be. By the time July tackles motherhood, the book has become a bible. Never has a novel spoken so deeply to my sexuality, my spirituality, my secret self. I know I am not alone.” —Lena Dunham on July’s The First Bad Man Celebrating the release of Miranda July’s debut novel, The First Bad Man (Scribner, 2015), BAM presents an evening of conversation between the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of the 2007 short story collection No One Belongs Here More Than You (Scribner) and fellow author and creative multi-hyphenate Lena Dunham (Not That Kind of Girl). Miranda July is a filmmaker, writer, and performing artist. She wrote, directed, and starred in The Future. Her first feature-length film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, received a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the Caméra d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. July’s short fiction has been published in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Harper’s, and Zoetrope; her collection of stories, No One Belongs Here More Than You, won the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award and has been published in twenty countries. Her novel The First Bad Man will be published by Scribner in January 2015 and has received advance praise from fellow authors Andrew Solomon, Chris Ware, and Dana Spiotta, among others. Raised in Berkeley, California, she lives in Los Angeles. Lena Dunham is the creator and star of the critically acclaimed HBO series Girls, for which she also serves as executive producer, writer, and director. She has been nominated for eight Emmy Awards and has won two Golden Globes, including Best Actress for her work on Girls. Dunham has also written and directed two feature length films—including 2010's Tiny Furniture, which received its NY premiere at BAMcinemaFest—and created two web series. Her personal essay collection, Not That Kind of Girl, was published by Random House in September 2014, and she is a frequent contributor to The New Yorker. She graduated from Oberlin College in 2008.

An Evening with Matt Groening & Lynda Barry Love, Hate & Comics—The Friendship That Would Not Die BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Feb 12 at 8pm Tickets: $35, 50 Legendary cartoonists and former college classmates Mat Groening and Lynda Barry talk about 40 years of love, hate, and comics and the perpetual joy of driving each other crazy. Matt Groening is the creator and executive producer of The Simpsons, now the longest-running scripted show in TV history, winner of multiple Emmy Awards and voted the "Best Show of the 20th Century" by Time magazine. He is also the creator of the Emmy Award-winning sci-fi series Futurama. In addition to his multiple Emmy Awards, Groening is the recipient of a Peabody Award; multiple Annie Awards; the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, the highest honor presented by the National Cartoonist Society; and countless others. His weekly comic strip Life in Hell was syndicated to more than 250 weekly newspapers throughout the country and are collected in dozens of books and calendars. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2012 and designed five Simpsons US postage stamps. Groening's publishing company, Bongo Entertainment, has published more than 400 comic books, trade paperback, and trade books in the past two decades and is now releasing e-books and apps. Lynda Barry has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator, and teacher and has found these roles very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades, Ernie Pook’s Comeek featuring the incomparable Marlys and Freddy, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!, The Greatest of Marlys, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel, Naked Ladies Naked Ladies Naked Ladies, and The Good Times are Killing Me which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor’s Award. Lynda Barry has received many awards for her work, including a 2013 Lifetime Visual Arts Award, MOWA, Two William Eisner awards, The American Library Association’s Alex Award, The Wisconsin Library Association’s RR Donnelly Award, and Washington State Governor’s Award. Barry is currently Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Creativity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; she teaches writing and picture making and runs the Image Lab at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. Her research centers on what the biological function of ‘the arts’ may be, why children feel able to draw, write, dance, sing, and act, and adults do not, and why the longing to be able to do these things persists well after we have given up on the possibility of ever being able to do so. Because of this work, Barry recently received the Holtz Center for Science & Technology’s 2014-5 Outreach Fellowship. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how-to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly, What It Is, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author. Barry’s prose novel, and the follow up and creative drawing companion to What It Is, is entitled Picture This: The Near-Sighted Monkey Book. Her latest book, Syllabus (Drawn & Quarterly), is due out October 2014 and is based on the course plan for Barry’s workshops. Collaged texts, ballpoint-pen doodles, and watercolor washes adorn Syllabus’s yellow lined pages, which offer advice on finding a creative voice and using memories to inspire the writing process. For press information contact Sarah Garvey at [email protected] or 718.724.8025. En Garde! Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Feb 17 at 8pm Tickets: $25, 30, 40, 50 Two best-selling authors and versatile storytellers—Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) and Neil Gaiman—join forces in a no-holds-barred evening of mayhem as they either swordfight to the death or ask each other questions about literature. These two longtime friends and occasional collaborators come together for this unique and totally unpredictable event. Neil Gaiman is a New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 books, including short fiction, novels, comic books, and graphic novels. He also writes for radio and films. Gaiman’s fantasy novel, American Gods, took the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, and Locus awards—as did his bestselling young adult story, Coraline. Another children’s novel, The Graveyard Book, is the only work to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) Medals—awarded by librarians for the most prestigious contribution to children’s literature. Gaiman’s groundbreaking Sandman comics, which have garnered a large number of accolades including nine Eisner Awards, were described by Stephen King as having turned graphic novels into “art.” An issue of Sandman was the first comic book to receive literary recognition, the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story. In February 2015 he will publish his new book of fiction TRIGGER WARNING: Short Fictions and Disturbances (Morrow). He lives in the US and teaches at Bard College in New York. Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) is the author of the novels The Basic Eight, Watch Your Mouth, Adverbs, and with Maira Kalman, Why We Broke Up, which won the Michael J. Printz Honor. As Lemony Snicket, he has written the best-selling series All The Wrong Questions as well as A Series of Unfortunate Events, which has sold more than 60 million copies. Snicket is also the creator of several picture books, including the Charlotte Zolotow Award-winning The Dark, illustrated by Jon Klassen. Handler works extensively in music, serving as the adjunct accordionist for The Magnetic Fields and collaborating with composer Nathaniel Stookey on a piece commissioned and recorded by the San Francisco Symphony, entitled The Composer Is Dead, In February 2015 he will be publishing his new adult novel, We Are Pirates (Bloomsbury). He is a graduate of Wesleyan University and lives in his native San Francisco with his wife, illustrator Lisa Brown, and their son.

  • The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright a Thesis
    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Amy Bright, 2016 Abstract Recent research by Neilsen reports that adult readers purchase 80% of all young adult novels sold, even though young adult literature is a category ostensibly targeted towards teenage readers (Gilmore). More than ever before, young adult (YA) literature is at the center of some of the most interesting literary conversations, as writers, readers, and publishers discuss its wide appeal in the twenty-first century. My dissertation joins this vibrant discussion by examining the ways in which YA literature has transformed to respond to changing social and technological contexts. Today, writing, reading, and marketing YA means engaging with technological advances, multiliteracies and multimodalities, and cultural and social perspectives. A critical examination of five YA texts – Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens, Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Ghosts of Ashbury High – helps to shape understanding about the changes and the challenges facing this category of literature as it responds in a variety of ways to new contexts. In the first chapter, I explore the history of YA literature in order to trace the ways that this literary category has changed in response to new conditions to appeal to and serve a new generation of readers, readers with different experiences, concerns, and contexts over time.

  • Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries
    Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries Cassie Wagner This study examines the extent to which ARL academic libraries collect graphic novels. Using a core list of 176 titles developed from winners of major comics industry awards and a library-focused “best of” list, the holdings of 111 ARL academic libraries were searched using the librar- ies’ online catalogs. Results suggest that most of the libraries studied do not aggressively collect graphic novels. Also examined were associations between date of publication, prior serialization, overall collection size, monograph budget, and ARL ranking and graphic novel holdings. To better serve scholarly research in this area of increasing interest, libraries will need to reexamine their collecting policies. ne of a handful of art forms Comics have undergone a renaissance whose development began in recent years.

Cole is a boy in high school. He runs cross country, he sketches, he jokes around with friends. But none of this quite matters next to the allure of sex. “Let me put it this way,” he says. “Draw a number line, with zero is you never think about sex and ten is, it’s all you think about, and while you are drawing the line, I am thinking about sex.” Cole fantasizes about whomever he’s looking at. He consumes and shares pornography. And he sleeps with a lot of girls—girls who seem to enjoy it at FICTION / COMING OF AGE the time and seem to feel bad about it afterwards.

  • French Comics Framed Festival
    FRENCH COMICS FRAMED FESTIVAL NEW YORK CITY SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 Illustration © Christophe Blain 2016 FRENCH COMICS FRAMED In 1889, Richard Felton Outcault, creator of the legendary Yellow Kid, moved to Paris to study art. He came back to the US with a brand new outfit: a beret and a cape. In Manhattan 1952, Morris met René Goscinny: thus Lucky Luke found his new writer, who would also go on to create Asterix and many more iconic heroes. Comics and bande dessinée have always been entwined, keeping up a constant communication across the ocean. Although comics artists may share their work and keep track of each other’s production, these exchanges might not be quite so accessible to the general public. Well, we’d like to make them available to everyone. After all, stars such as The Smurfs, Tintin, Blacksad and Persepolis were born and raised in Europe before conquering the US. FRENCH COMICS FRAMED festival displays in English the wonderful diversity of the Francophone bande dessinée. From much-loved icons to sophisticated graphic novels; from masters of sci-fi to sociopolitical documentaries. With a stunning exhibition, engaging talks, and encounters with some of the best Francophone artists at the New York Comic Con, get ready for an amazing journey through French creation and discover the art of comics à la Française.
