Brenda, You make me want to get this book and I've never before understood graphic novels.

Brenda, another home run. You manage to write in a warm tone and elegant style. I'm persuaded now to delve into graphic novels!

So interesting, Brenda. I was just in a bookstore yesterday and saw Paul's book. Today is Dan's birthday and he is a film noir freak. I think I must go back and purchase it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Fascinating and inspiring me to take a look. And as one who steers away from graphic novels, that's an accomplishment:)

Just so beautiful Brenda AND inspiring! I am grateful to live among the creative minds that make MV so special. including you. Thank you for capturing your interview with Paul so well and also for your article in Vol. 1 Brooklyn, I loved reading it and felt like I was sitting next to you both as you chatted, always the sign of a great interview. I found his trajectory with Paul Auster and how they ended up working together fascinating!

So kind of you, Polly! (And I heard you'll be interviewing your sister, Martha Kelly, at this event in July--is that right? https://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=6379&EventID=557913&PK= )

Excellent piece, Brenda. Makes me want to get out of my comfort zone and explore a graphic novel!
