The highlight of my year was bringing Gary Panter’s extraordinary ‘Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise’ back into print with @NYRcomics. My long afterword only begins to express how important this book is. It’s art, literature & comics at their best. https://www.nyrb.com/products/jimbo?variant=35223007002792

Sarah Manguso

I reviewed Sarah Manguso’s novel, ‘Very Cold People,’ for @nybooks. The author portrait by @HLeeMerrion is a wonderful complement to Manguso’s writing—doing a lot with a little. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2022/04/21/very-cold-people-sarah-manguso-nicole-rudick/

Bone: Full Color One Volume Edition

Smith Jeff
nicole rudick 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️nicole rudick 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@J_Zuckerman @JonGorga The first thing that comes to mind is Love & Rockets, one of the all-time greats and stories to last for ages. The place to start is ‘Maggie the Mechanic’ and ‘Heartbreak Soup.’ Also ‘Bone’ by Jeff Smith—another great. And Gaiman’s ‘Sandman,’ of course.

“A day in a cloister can be as dramatic and fatal as a day on the battlefield … To me, anything that happens is life.” I love these lines from Yiyun Li’s new novel, ‘The Book of Goose.’ @fsgbooks

“The best thing about a turned back is the face you can’t see stays a secret.” Can’t stop thinking about this line from Ali Smith’s ‘How to Be Both.’

A New Hope: Star Wars: Episode IV

George Lucas
nicole rudick 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️nicole rudick 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

In a letter from 1978, Joanna Russ, who hated ‘Star Wars,’ misspells “Lucas” (as in “George”) as “Lukacs” (as in György), and, well, I think the sequels would have been better if Lukacs had made them.
