    DRAWN&QUARTERLY winter 2013 MIRIAM KATIN’S LETTING IT GO MIRIAM KATIN LETTING IT GO A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR STRUGGLES TO LET THE PAST GO Miriam Katin’s debut graphic novel, the 2006 memoir We Are On Our Own, was a unique portrait of how one family survived the Second World War. A companion to We Are On Our Own, Letting It Go shows Miriam, now an adult, dealing with her son Ilan’s recent move to Berlin. As Miriam struggles to accept his decision, she realizes that her hesitations have more to do with longheld grudges than any sort of legitimate concerns. Whereas We Are On Our Own probed Miriam’s loss of faith and talked about her experiences during the War, Letting It Go examines the lasting trauma of surviving World War II from a very different vantage point, focusing on Miriam’s life as a middle-aged New Yorker. The flowing, expressive style employed in We Are On Our Own has been refined in this full- color masterpiece. A panel-less style lets the story flow, with wise and funny anecdotes along the way. Katin has the light hand of a master storyteller in this, an insightful, serious, but NOT FINAL COVER wry account of the myriad ways trauma inflects daily existence, both for survivors and for their families. “Richly illustrated in pencil, this book should not be missed by anyone with an interest in history, love or faith--so anyone, really.” –Time Magazine “A skillfully rendered memoir about Katin and her mother’s harrowing escape from Budapest in 1944.

  • By ALEC LONGSTRETH Distributed by Adhouse Books Diamond Order
    Contact: Alec Longstreth • [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE More info: www.alec-longstreth.com/basewood/ a graphic novel TEN YEARS in the making! by ALEC LONGSTRETH “Drawn with delicate precision, brimming with heart and adventure, Basewood is an exquisite gem of a work. It’s a genuine miracle that a comic this beautifully unique exists at all.” – James Kochalka “Longstreth’s deceptively simple drawings of this harsh world filled with axes, ropes, pulleys, and levers, a place where you must bend nature with your bare hands to survive, have a layered intricacy that looks like something that should be carved on a medieval cathedral. One of my favorite books to spend time with.” – Jeff Smith “Alec Longstreth is the most generous and enthusiastic cartoonist I’ve ever met, and his work brims over with that same contagious energy. His greatest work to date, Basewood, is a full sensory immersion into a meticulously-crafted, warm-hearted, and most of all epic world.” – Craig Thompson ABOUT BASEWOOD: Adventure! Mystery! Tree houses! A Wolf-Dragon! Basewood tells the story of a young man who wakes up in the woods, with no memory of how he got there. The reader follows along as our hero tries to uncover the details of his mysterious past. Drawn in a highly-detailed crosshatching style, this graphic novel took over ten years to write and draw. This beautiful, hardback edition of Basewood was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed its $10,000 funding goal after only 48 hours. A French translation of Basewood was published by L’employé du Moi in 2012, and now the book is finally available here in the United States.

Yet the discussion underway belies the seemingly idyllic scene. It is 1944 and Esther has just received an order to hand over her daughter’s beloved dog to the Nazis, as Jews are no longer permitted to own pets. Esther and Eva joke as to what Hitler will do with all these “Jewish dogs,” or “canines of the Hebrew faith.”2 The joke quickly wears thin, however, as Esther and her young daughter Lisa struggle to survive the Holocaust.

Following requests from several younger conference participants who were looking forward to presenting at their first international conference and networking with established colleagues in their field, we have prepared this book of abstracts together with the program. We hope that you, our intended ASAA 2020 delegates, will use this document as a way to discover the breadth of research being undertaken and reach out to other scholars. Several of you have kindly recognised how much work went into preparing the program for our 600 participants. We think this is a nice way to at least share the program in an accessible format and to allow you all to see the exciting breadth of research on Asia going on in Australia and in the region.

While autobiographical comics may seem like an odd crib sheet to use to learn about the human condition, their confessional style provides readers like me with the answers to the questions we dare not ask. I equate reading an autobiographical comic with the occurrence of a stranger handing you his diary, staring meaningfully into your eyes and saying, “I want you to read this… all of it. Oh, and just so you know, I drew pictures of everything that happened, too.” I first became interested in autobiographical comics and graphic novels after reading some of Jeffrey Brown’s comics in 2005. There was something about his loose, sketchbook-style illustrations that made his work accessible to a newly minted comics fan such as myself.
