Oct 7: José Alaniz at People's Book, interviewed by Mike Rhode

José Alaniz for "Puro Pinche True Fictions"

October 7 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free!

https://peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/jose-alaniz/

José Alaniz, professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Department of Cinema and Media Studies (adjunct) at the University of Washington, Seattle, has published academic books on Russian/Eastern European comics, disability in comics and superheroes. He also makes comics, including for the collections The Phantom Zone and Other Stories (Amatl Comix, 2020), The Compleat Moscow Calling (Amatl, 2023) and Puro Pinche True Fictions (2023, FlowerSong Press).

The hybrid book collects short stories and comics, mostly set in the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas/Mexico border. The stories reflect the author's upbringing in this region as a second-generation Mexican-American, at times fusing folk beliefs with Bradbury-style science fiction. For example, "Tamales" sets the immigration narrative on Mars in 2063, when a migrant family makes the crossing in search of work via (malfunctioning) rocket.

Other stories, like "Genoveva" and "Where You Stop the Story," retell painful family episodes going back years and generations. The comics section, "Electric Youth," recounts incidents from Alaniz's childhood in South Texas, some of them told in Spanglish. These range from nostalgic (like one showing how common and pleasant it used to be to cross the river to Reynosa, Mexico for family outings) to funny/gross (the author's memory of stepping on a nail) to self-flagellating (the reimagining of ethnic self-loathing through a Star Wars metaphor). This collection will appeal to readers with an interest in contemporary Chicano fiction and comics.

That darn Mark Trail and Peanuts

Can't bear the misinformation [Mark Trail letter]

Sally J. Valdes, Alexandria

Washington Post September 16 2023: A15.

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/15/climate-change-polluters-accountability-photo-essay-contest/

The Sept. 3 "Mark Trail" comic strip included misleading information. It stated that grizzly bears are "not seen outside Alaska and the far north." Historically, grizzly bears ranged from Alaska to Mexico and from the Pacific to the Mississippi River. Even today, about 3,000 live in Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Montana.

I miss the old version of "Mark Trail" that included more dependable information on natural history and had more straightforward, believable characters and storylines.

The writer is a former biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other federal agencies.

The dark legacy of artificial light [Peanuts letter]

Eileen Kragie, Vienna

Washington Post September 16 2023: A15.

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/15/climate-change-polluters-accountability-photo-essay-contest/

The Sept. 3 "Classic Peanuts" comic strip was too depressing for words.

Woodstock's reaction most likely would be one of horror these days at the explosion of irresponsible light at night, not only in the cities but also across the globe. The unshielded light depicted in the fourth frame causes glare, light trespass and light pollution.

The fall migration of the birds is beginning. Artificial light at night is the cause of death of hundreds of millions of birds each year.

One hardly thinks Woodstock would be happy seeing the pavement below buildings littered with the bodies of his friends. The "Lights Out: Recovering Our Night Sky" exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History shows what the unabated exponential growth of our artificial lights is doing.

The writer is the founder of Dark Sky Friends.

Sean Damien Hill at Fantom Comics

He's signing his new X-Men collection, Bishop War College. His favorite artist was Bernie Wrightson. He's influenced by body builders.
