Janice Shapiro on Honoria: A Fortuitious Friendship

Thursday, March 27 at 2:30 PM on KPFK I welcome back screenwriter and short story writer Janice Shapiro, out with her full-length graphic novel Honoria: A Fortuitous Friendship, a coming-of-age story about young women who discover their place in the world. This is a novel of imagination, built on the historical record of a pivotal moment, and beautifully illustrated with wit, imagination, and empathy. Cameos by Picasso, Chaplain and the Fitzgeralds. Politics, adventure, identity and faith. Out from the estimable Fantagraphics, with an enthusiastic blurb from R. Crumb himself. Pure joy.
