02.11: Scott McCloud in Conversation with Daniel H. Wilson
2015-01-21 23:05:33| Powells Books Events Calendar
David Smith is giving his life for his art — literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding "what" to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! Scott McCloud's The Sculptor (First Second) is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and of the world's greatest city gorgeously depicted at street level. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life... and the great, surging forces that lie just under the surface. McCloud wrote the book on how comics work (Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art); now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work. McCloud will be joined in conversation by Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robogenesis and How to Survive a Robot Uprising.
