Nicki Greenberg and adult graphic novels
Also this week is the visit by author/illustrator Nicki Greenberg and the launch of the adult graphic novel collection.
Come and join us to hear and see how Nicki Greenberg, author and artist, has transmuted and transmogrified F. Scott Fitzgerald’s jazz-age classic The Great Gatsby into a wonderful graphic novel. Nicki will also be officially launching our new Adult Graphic Novel collection.
Nicki is a Melbourne-based comic artist, author, illustrator and lawyer whose first series of books, The Digits, were published when she was 15 years old. More recently she has written and illustrated both fiction and non-fiction books for children and teenagers. Her graphic adaptation of The Great Gatsby brings together Nicki’s passion for literature and her love of sequential art. Painstakingly constructed over six years the work is an enormous tribute to Fitzgerald’s novel and an exuberant but thoughtful “arrangement” of the brilliant jazz of the original.
When: Thursday 7th February 7pm
Where: Belgrave Library, Reynolds Lane, Belgrave
Ph: 9754 7266
