Ivan Brunetti’s new book Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice is making a pretty big splash with a popular, instructional trailer on YouTube and reviews on Drawn!, PopMatters.com, even the Wall Street Journal. He’s written for the London Yale Books blog, and he has an upcoming book signing with Hillary Cute at Hyde Park’s 57th Street Books on Wednesday, May 18th. But these are only the most recent things he’s done withYUP.
The two volumes of the Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories are engrossing for any fan of narrative fiction, featuring work of contemporary artists like Art Spiegelman, Lynda Barry, Charles Burns, Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Chris Ware, Ben Katchor, Gary Panter, Phoebe Gloeckner, Daniel Clowes, Joe Sacco, and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.
Plus, Brunetti interviewed twice for the Yale Press Podcast series, and its logo should look rather familiar. Listen to him on episodes 1 and 19 right at home, on the go, and tell us what you think.
