The graphic novel—or memoir or history—has a bigger readership today than ever before. Eclectic and often surprising,  writers use this form in innovative ways to tackle sometimes difficult subjects, such as Art Spiegelman's classic graphic novel of the holocaust, or Congressman John Lewis's powerful three-volume depiction of his struggle for civil and human rights. This course will provide an introductory menu for those who are new to reading graphic texts.
