SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: The Wendy Award
DESCRIPTION:Join our Graphic Novel Book Club as we meet on Tuesday July 30th at 7 pm at Espace Drawn & Quarterly (176 rue Bernard O) to discuss THE WENDY AWARD by Walter Scott! The book club will be hosted by Francine Yulo and is free and open to all. No registration is required.\nBuy the book here: https://shorturl.at/8L3dZ\nWe Ship Canada-wide!\nBy purchasing your book at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly you help support events like this one\, independent publishing and retailing\, our neighborhood\, and authors both local and from around the world who depend on independent bookstores for their livelihood. Your support is appreciated.\n///////////////////////////////////////////\nTHE WENDY AWARD\nEverybody’s favorite party girl Wendy is so back\nWhen Wendy is nominated for the coveted National FoodHut Contemporary Art Prize alongside her friend Winona\, all of her millennial dreams seem to be coming true. She lives a post-pandemic\, polyamorous fine artist’s lifestyle in the big city and basks in the glory of national attention with the success of her popular comic strip\, “Wanda.”\nBut not even achieving bona fide art star fame can hide the truth: a never-ending struggle with imposter syndrome. After she cracks in an online interview and gets dragged in the comments section\, she heads straight to a local watering hole to drown her sorrows. Several lines of coke\, too many drinks\, and one all night rager with fans later\, Wendy is ready to curse Gen Z and confront her addictions. All the while\, she and Winona drift apart as a younger Indigenous artist wedges herself between them. Will Wendy’s commitment to change wind up short-lived?\nThe Wendy Award incisively skewers the art world with its corporate overlords\, performative activism\, generational wealth\, and weaponized therapy speak. A showcase of Walter Scott’s deft wit and social commentary\, The Wendy Award asks the hard questions\, like Do they still give awards to men? Should we be grateful for the exposure? And what exactly is Big Auntie Energy?\n///////////////////////////////////////////\nWALTER SCOTT is an interdisciplinary artist working in comics\, drawing\, video\, performance\, and sculpture. His graphic novel series Wendy chronicles the continuing misadventures of a young artist in a satirical imagining of the contemporary art world. Scott’s eponymous party girl has previously been featured in three graphic novels Wendy; Wendy’s Revenge and Wendy: Master of Art as well as in Canadian Art; Art in America; The New Yorker; The New York Times and MoMA Magazine. Scott has been nominated or longlisted for the Ignatz Awards\, Canada Reads\, the Believer Book Award\, and the Doug Wright Award\, and finally\, the Sobey Art Award—considered to be the preeminent fine art award in Canada.\n///////////////////////////////////////////\nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly recognizes that our bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home\, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. This has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. It is important to think about how each and every one of us has arrived here. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years and we urge you to seek out a story that is different from your own.\n/////////////////////////////////////////\nEspace Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:\n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n– There is one non-gendered bathroom.\n– It is not a sober space\, our events sometimes offer alcohol.\n♥️ Please email events@drawnandquarterly.com if you have any accessibility needs we can accommodate (for example\, saving you a seat if you have mobility needs) for you to be able to enjoy our events\, worry-free\, and feel free to contact us for any concerns you may have ♥️
