Virtual Panel by Panel Graphic Novel Book Club

Adults are invited to celebrate their love of this diverse and subversive medium.

Registration is required, and books will be provided for participants. Titles may also be available through Hoopla or Libby. (Those who have their own copy are welcome to participate as well, just note when you sign up that you won't need the library to provide one.)

This month, we will be reading the acclaimed Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon:

What are the most important days of your life?

Meet Brás de Oliva Domingos. The miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer, Brás spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author himself—writing the end of other people's stories, while his own has barely begun.

But on the day that life begins, would he even notice? Does it start at 21 when he meets the girl of his dreams? Or at 11, when he has his first kiss? Is it later in his life when his first son is born? Or earlier when he might have found his voice as a writer?

Each day in Brás's life is like a page from a book. Each one reveals the people and things who have made him who he is: his mother and father, his child and his best friend, his first love and the love of his life. And like all great stories, each day has a twist he'll never see coming...

In Daytripper, the Eisner Award-winning twin brothers Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá tell a magical, mysterious and moving story about life itself—a hauntingly lyrical journey that uses the quiet moments to ask the big questions.

 

This book discussion will be offered via the Microsoft Teams web app. Participants registered here will receive an email with details on how to access the meeting the day before the event. If you have any questions, please contact Sophia McKissick at smckissick@tcpl.org.
