DC – The Night Bookmobile Signing

Audrey Niffenegger signs on September 18, 2010 from 3:30pm - 4:30pm.

Readers know Niffenegger from The Time Traveler’s Wife, but her involvement with books is visual as well as literary. A professor at the Columbia College Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts, she has produced two “novels-in-pictures,” and now a graphic novel. First serialized in The Guardian, this is the story of Alexandra, a reader who becomes a librarian in order to find the elusive night bookmobile containing everything she has ever read.

ABOUT WILSON: Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family – a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire.

DC – Backing into Forward Signing

 

Jules Feiffer, one of the best cartoonists alive, just turned 81 and published Backing into Forward: A Memoir. Feiffer’s best-known comic strip was Sick, Sick, Sick (later retitled Feiffer), an unrelenting satire of American life and politics that ran in the Village Voice for more than 40 years. Feiffer grappled with the anomie of the ’50s, the unrest of the ’60s and ’70s, and the mindless complacency of the ’80s. He attacked Johnson over the Vietnam War, and Nixon and Reagan over everything. Feiffer’s artwork was sketchy but elegant—he conveyed his ideas in simple lines—and he frequently drew dancers. Doonesbury certainly would not exist without Feiffer’s ground-breaking work, and he’s proved there’s life after the Voice, which dropped him in 1997: He’s since written several works of fiction for children and adults.

FEIFFER READS FROM HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY THURS. MARCH 18th AT 4 P.M. AT POLITICS & PROSE, 5015 CONNECTICUT AVE. NW. FREE. (202) 364-1919.
