Sept 11: Štěpánka Jislová and Cara Gormally at the Czech embassy

Also from Cara Gormally's newsletter, comes this update to the Czechia cartoonist signing.

I'll be in conversation with Štěpánka Jislová, about her book Heartcore

Thursday, September 11, 2025 at the Czech Embassy in Washington, D.C.

I'm looking forward to talking about her book, which dives into gender expectations and falling in and out of love, and how our childhoods influence our attachments in our love lives. I'm excited to see how our books speak with each other—our books share some overlapping themes. I hope you'll check out Štěpánka's book and more of her work on Instagram as well as my debut graphic memoir.

For an interview with Jislová and a review of her book, see these two pieces on the IJOCA blog.
