SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Misery of Love by Yvan Alagbé
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard Ouest) for our Graphic Novel Book Club! On Tuesday September 30th at 7 pm we will be discussing MISERY OF LOVE by YVAN ALAGBÉ\, translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith\, and published by New York Review of Comics. This meeting will be hosted by D+Q’s Sales & Marketing Manager\, Francine Yulo. The Graphic Novel Book Club is free to attend and no reservation is required.\nBuy the book: https://mtlshop.drawnandquarterly.com/misery\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nMISERY OF LOVE: Colonial history haunts this stunning\, spectral-looking graphic novel\, a spiritual sequel to the author’s Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures.\nIn Misery of Love\, a spiritual sequel to the acclaimed Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures\, Yvan Alagbé continues his unflinching interrogation of race and family in modern France.\nThe book focuses on the dream-like memories of a woman named Clare\, who is reluctantly spending time with her relatives for a funeral. Alagbé seamlessly glides between narratives of the family’s past and present\, all haunted by the legacy of France’s colonial subjugation of Africa.\nAlagbé works in stormy grayscale washes\, using comics\, as he puts it\, as “a sacred dimension which celebrates\, questions and perpetuates life…. I believe that life is not damnation but grace.”\nTold through time shifts that echo Richard McGuire’s Here\, Misery of Love is another ambitious\, devastating masterpiece from one of France’s best contemporary graphic novelists.\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nYVAN ALAGBÉ was born in Paris and spent three years of his youth in West Africa. He is a cofounder of the publishing house Amok\, which later merged with the Belgian publishing group Fréon to become Frémok\, now a major European graphic novels publisher. He is the author of Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures. He teaches at Haute école des arts du Rhin in Strasbourg.\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:– Our store uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.
