Blue Delliquanti working on Cory Doctorow adaptation

Calista Brill at First Second has acquired world rights to Unauthorized Bread: A Radicalized Graphic Novel by Cory Doctorow (l.) and adapted and illustrated by J.R. Doyle (c.) and Blue Delliquanti (r.). The YA graphic novel tells the story of Salima, a refugee whose subsidized housing is designed to stripmine the people who live there, from the toasters that only accept "authorized bread" to the refrigerators that only permit authorized groceries. Benjamin Wilgus will also edit; publication is set for 2027. Russell Galen at Scovil Galen Glosh represented Doctorow, George Rohac at Organized Havoc represented Doyle, and Jennifer Linnan at Linnan Literary Management represented Delliquanti.
