Waking up in Purgatory, a young woman is forced to take part in a lottery, which she wins. Unfortunately for her, since she has had enough of life, the prize is to return to the living world and continue her life from where she had left it, with one significant difference: this time, she can see and communicate with ghosts?her own included. Her dull, monotonous life carries on, though her profound solitude is now mitigated by the presence of the ghosts of the dead surrounding her, most notably her own. She discovers that living with her ghost has its advantages, with few disadvantages... All the Living is a meditation on monotony, hopelessness, and the absurdity of existence in the face of sadness and emptiness. Roman Muradov's graphic style, full of finesse and sensuality, quite literally draws us into his enchanting imagination. A parable ? at the same time gentle, penetrating, and occasionally profane ? that marks the return of a master of the modern graphic novel.
Written by black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by multi-media artist and cartoonist Mia Wolff,?Bread & Wine?is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriended Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple?Delany, a professor at Philadelphia?s Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans,?Bread & Wine?is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolff?s sensitive portrayal of the couple?s physicality. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters? ?body language? and the bustling New York setting but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem ?Bread and Wine? by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields.This updated edition includes a new foreword by the novelist Junot Diaz, the earlier edition?s introduction by Alan Moore, commentary by the book?s protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff.
