Virtual Event: Call Me Nathan: An Evening with Quentin Zuttion April 28, 2022 6pmEST:

 

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.
