49 Days: Graphic Novelist Agnes Lee Imagines the Afterlife (A Litquake Aftershocks Event)

Co-presented with The Ruby SF

With a combination of strategic use of color, delicate line work, and a healthy dose of humor, cartoonist Agnes Lee interprets what’s known in Buddhist tradition as the bardo, the 49 days between death and rebirth, through the journey of her protagonist, Kit. Lee (who’s known for her winsome “Metropolitan Diary” NYT column) will take us inside her creative process, introduce us to her characters—and maybe even share some of the food that plays a key role in the graphic novel. Attendees are invited to bring something to eat that evokes a memory. Let’s share food and stories! $10 suggested donation, FREE for Ruby members
