Via the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, a virtual conversation Thursday, April 28th with graphic novelist Quentin Zuittion:
Join
the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum on Thursday April 28 at
6pm ET for a special event with French author and cartoonist Quentin Zuttion, co-creator of the graphic novel "Call Me Nathan."
Assigned
female at birth, Nathan spends his formative years facing questions
without answers. As puberty hits and begins to change his body, it all
just feels wrong, and something needs to change for it to feel right. He
finds himself at a crucial crossroads. Becoming oneself is the work of a
lifetime, no matter our gender, sexuality, or refusal to be limited by
such categorizations.
For Nathan, his courageous first steps
towards discovering his true self happen through transition. Based on a
true story, Catherine Castro and Quentin Zuttion explore the tenacity
and bravery that such a journey entails while society continues to
wrestle with the meaning of identity. "Call Me Nathan" issues a moving
call for understanding, a powerful denunciation of prejudice, and a
celebration of everything it means to love.
Zuttion will be in
conversation with Dr. Margaret Flinn, Associate Professor in The Ohio
State University Department of French and Italian. Book signing to
follow.
