Sept 8: MariNaomi for “I Thought You Loved Me”

MariNaomi for "I Thought You Loved Me"

September 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

https://peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/marinaomi/

Free

About the Book:

This graphic Gen X memoir, which is told in prose, collage, and sequential art, explores queer culture, feminism, race, class, sex work, and the flawed nature of memory as Mari works to uncover a long-lost best friend that she can no longer remember but can't let go.

Jodie was Mari's best friend through their teens and twenties. As young Mari began to explore her identity as a bisexual, biracial outsider in a rich, white town, Jodie was her constant confidant, even kissing Mari out of the closet. The two were inseparable as they sought to gain a foothold in life and love as young feminists, Jodie an entrepreneurial sex worker, and Mari working in the boys' club of video game development in the late '90s. Then, suddenly and mysteriously, Jodie ends their friendship. Years later, Mari is stunned when she discovers why.

Now much older, Mari is ready to forgive, but her memories of Jodie seem to have vanished. Through journal excerpts, letters, conversations with friends, and cross-country travel, she pieces together lost memories from a lost friendship, in an attempt at catharsis. The reader follows in real-time as the author unravels her own mystery, examining the expectations of friendship, the unreliability of memory, and the struggle to let go.

"With I Thought You Loved Me, MariNaomi has created a new genre: the memoir-thriller. What begins as an exercise in rifling through the scrapbook of her memories turns into a series of unlikely and even jaw-dropping events. With MariNaomi's innovative use of collage and minimalist line art, I Thought You Loved Me transforms from leisurely read into page-turning shocks, never deviating from its focus on intimacy, memory, and loss." —Comics critics, Rob Clough, Fieldmouse Press

"Can I have a crush on a comic? There is so little experimentation anymore in the form, it feels abrupt and exciting to fall into I Thought You Loved Me, like an infatuation, the brights are bright and the darks, dark. MariNaomi creates a new idiom for this comic, pushing the form to describe and evoke the layers of the story, which is eluding her even as she tries to tell it. Brilliant, heartbreaking, revealing as a dream." —Alexander Chee, the author of How To Write An Autobiographical Novel

About the Author:

About the Book:

An instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel, starring a music-obsessed skeleton, Skeleanor, and her quest to find her sound (and her confidence) by debut creator Emily Ettlinger.

Skeleanor loves music more than life itself. There's just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays—from the fiddle to the xylobone—she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up, and the town band missing a player, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage.

Hilarious and heartfelt, Skeleanor the Decomposer by debut author and illustrator Emily Ettlinger is a story about chasing your passions no matter what other people say. Sometimes, all you need is a dream, your friends, and a little music.

About the Author:

Emily Ettlinger is an artist from almost-DC, Maryland. When she's not drawing, you can find her working on one of an infinite number of sewing, furniture, or toy-making projects.She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in illustration. Skeleanor the Decomposer is her first graphic novel. Visit her online at emiett.com.

Teenage twins Zara and Zeeshan constantly bicker, belittling each other's interests and each other. But on a family vacation to Florida, they discover that although one is an animal rights activist and the other an amateur astronomer, they share the same fears and feelings of isolation. While saving the life of a loggerhead turtle, the siblings come to realize that their twin is one person who will always have their backs. As always, beloved author Saadia Faruqi captures the emotions of growing up Muslim and the exclusion many children face in this beautifully illustrated graphic novel.

Saadia Faruqi is a Pakistani American author and interfaith activist. She writes the popular children's early reader series "Yasmin" and other books for children, including chapter books, graphic novels, and picture books. Saadia is editor-in-chief of Blue Minaret, a magazine for Muslim art, poetry and prose, and was featured in Oprah Magazine in 2017 as a woman making a difference in her community.
