CONVERSATIONS WITH DON DELILLO, by Drew Lerman
Landing this weekend at @cakechicago via CRAM Books, it’s Drew Lerman’s meta opus, “Conversations with Don DeLillo and Other Conversations”!
Drew’s daily chats with the legendary 89-year-old novelist lead him on an odyssey through the contemporary American canon and into the heart of his own existential dread. Along the way, he solicits gossip, overshares, and receives an inexplicable number of compliments from a host of luminaries.
Simple, expansive and joyful—CRAM Books is thrilled to release this new comic!
Today my guest is New York cartoonist @betheacomics , whose comics include Book of Daze and Francis Bacon (@dominocomicbooks ), All Killer No Filler, and Forlorn Toreador. She’s also appeared in anthologies like Peep (@samharkham ) and Crease.
Elizabeth is one of the great comics poets, and I loved learning about how she composes her work over time through daily writing. We also get into Elizabeth’s hometown of New Orleans, her recent forays into digital cartooning, the love life of Susan Sontag, the dreaminess of still lifes, pictureless poems, and more!
Thank you to @jvsonbvtler for producing the episode!
