SUMMARY:Barrack Zailaa Rima launches Beirut in conversation with Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Join Invisible Publishing and Librairie D+Q to launch BEIRUT with author Barrack Zailaa Rima! The author will appear in conversation with Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch\, author of The Good Arabs and knot body.\nRead more about and buy the book here: https://shorturl.at/J8alR\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nBEIRUT is Barrack Zailaa Rima’s celebrated graphic novel trilogy\, gathered together and available in English for the first time.\nBeirut is an intimate and poetic look at a beloved city that is at once autobiographical\, documentary\, and fantastic in nature. In Rima’s hands\, Beirut is a labyrinth of alleyways and stories\, a theater teeming with revolts\, and a cenotaph to buried memories. With Rima and her family serving as our guides\, and through chance encounters with incongruous figures (a librarian\, a garbage collector—or the city’s last storyteller)\, we discover a city that longs for its Golden Age even as it is transformed by neoliberal forces in the aftermath of the Civil War—an evolution whose future remains uncertain.\nDreamlike\, tender\, and ever-attentive to the beauty of the line\, Beirut offers a glimpse into Lebanon’s past and present\, which must be pieced together to form a whole. From the promise of the political activism of its youth in the 1950s and 1960s\, to the grating difficulties of the 2015 garbage crisis and the struggle to accommodate and assimilate Palestinian refugees\, this is a journey through a city\, and an expedition into the idea of home\, that only Rima could shepherd. No matter the detours.\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nA graphic novelist and filmmaker\, BARRACK ZAILAA RIMA was born in 1972 in Tripoli\, Lebanon\, and has lived in Brussels for more than thirty years. While she explored a wide variety of media and art forms in her early career\, Barrack now devotes herself to comics.\nA former member of the Beirut-based Samandal collective\, she is the author of several graphic novels\, editorial cartoons\, and compelling works of comics journalismincluding Le conteur du Caire\, Beyrouth\, and Sociologia . Her latest graphic novel\, Dans le taxi\, published by Alifbata Editions\, received the prestigious Mahmoud Kahil Award for the best graphic novel from the MENA region (Lebanon\, 2022) and the Grenades Literary Prize (Belgium\, 2022).\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nEspace Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:\n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.

Adapted into a major motion picture directed by Terry Zwigoff (director of the acclaimed documentary Crumb)\, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

SUMMARY:[EN] Benjamin Marra launches What We Mean by Yesterday Vol. 1
DESCRIPTION:Join Benjamin Marra\, Librairie D+Q\, and Fantagraphics to launch WHAT WE MEAN BY YESTERDAY VOL 1. The cartoonist will appear in conversation with D+Q Executive Editor Tom Devlin. A signing will follow the presentation.\nWHEN: Tuesday August 20th at 7 pm\nWHERE: Espace Drawn & Quarterly\, 176 Bernard O\nWHAT WE MEAN BY YESTERDAY\nThe story of a man driven to the edge — and beyond — by the world around him. But if he’s the good guy\, then who is the bad guy?\nBruce Barnes is a schoolteacher having yet another shit day. His students are a disrespectful nightmare\, gleefully relishing the misery they put him through. But today is even worse than usual\, and after a particularly grim run-in with a student\, he heads to the break room to bum a smoke of another member of the faculty. After lighting up\, he’s told the cigarette is laced with amphetamines. From there\, Bruce rides his « rage snake » from the classroom to the ends of the cosmos and back — fighting\, fucking\, shooting\, racing\, and tripping his way from one impulsive move to the next. Reminiscent of films like Falling Down and shows like Breaking Bad\, What We Mean By Yesterday is a black comedy descent into madness\, a revenge horror/fantasy that gives new meaning to the phrase « bad trip. »\nWhat We Mean By Yesterday began as a daily comic strip\, one page per day\, posted on Marra’s Instagram (@benjamin_marra). Originally begun as an experiment in drawing faster and looser\, it quickly became one of the more popular pandemic era webcomics\, followed by over 20\,000 readers daily.\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nBENJAMIN MARRA is the author of several acclaimed graphic novels from Fantagraphics\, including Terror Assaulter (O.M.W.O.T.)\, Night Business\, and American Blood. He received a B.F.A. in Illustration from Syracuse University; studied in Florence\, Italy; and earned his M.F.A. degree in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. He lives in Montreal.\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nEspace Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:\n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.
