From an artist documenting moments of crisis through powerful illustration, to a media scholar theorizing how television refashioned our behaviors, to a novelist that crafts masterfully dark suspense, the authors behind some of the Spring Festival: Graphic! programs are sure to inform, inspire, and entertain you with provocative fiction and non-fiction books.
