Welcome to the discussion for I Kill Giants 😃

A few questions to kick things off:

Did you have any preconceived notions about the story going in? What were they? Were your expectations met?

#litsygetsgraphic

#graphicnovelsnews is back ❤️
The final volume of I Hate Fairyland is out of print and available on #Hoopla. What started as a normal, everyday, child-sucked-into-a-magical-land-to-fulfill-an-inane-quest has changed Fairyland forever. In the continuation of saccharine fantasy-satire, Gertrude hands over the spotlight to Larry, Duncan Dragon, and some of Fairyland's other supporting cast, misfits, and forgotten threats.

We will announce our next date and read over the weekend.

At the end of Book I, Art calls his father a "murderer" for destroying his mother's diaries after her suicide. What deos he mean by that? Why is it so important for Art to find out about Auschwitz and why does his father take a different approach?

When they are returning from the Catskills near the end of the story, Art gets very mad when his father takes a racist attitude toward an African American hitchkiker. How does this incident illustrate the different meaning the Holocaust holds for Art and for his father?

The Complete Maus is not a huge book and even with black and wight color it took 13 years to complete it. Why do you think it took so long? Why with all success does Art have a writing block to start the second part?

How were desperate things that Vader father-in-law gave over grandparents??? What was under this decision?

Why do you think Spiegelman draws the characters of his book as animals? Do you think this, and the cartoon format in general, is an effective way of dealing with the subject matter?

I found this sketch of Art‘s dream in Meta Maus book. It seems that the difficulty of Vladek‘s character still chases him even after The Complete Maus was published. Did their relationship progress during the interviews? What kind of relationship it was? Did Art‘s feelings change?

Vladek and Anja had special relationship from the beginning. What particular story touched you the most? Why Vladek could not safe her from the suicide? What do you think really happened to Anja in the end of her life?

Why does Vladek ask Art not to write about Lucia in his book? Why doesn‘t Art listen to his father? Do you think it is right for Art to break his promise?

Rise and shine Littens ☀️ it‘s Aug. 8 time for our discussion about Maus.I would not ask you our first traditional question “did you like it or not” this time, because even if you don‘t like it,you still feel a good amount of sympathy to those who went through Holocaust.
Let‘s start with Art and Vladek relationships.Through those 👆🏻 panels which open the book that was your first expression about this family?How did it change through the book?

Dive into an aquatic fantasy series like you've ever seen before with #graphicnovelsnews on #hoopla. Millennia ago, mankind fled the earth's surface into the bottomless depths of the darkest oceans. Shielded from a sun's scorching radiation, the human race tried to stave off certain extinction by sending robotic probes far into the galaxy, to search for a new home among the stars.
Are you ready for our discussion on 8/8 on Maus?
I cannot wait 😬

Psychology is a serious and worthy endeavor that has given us scientific knowledge of the ways our minds make sense of the world. Yet, the authors point out, this study can also be often really funny in #comic #graphicnovel format

Why should you read Maus “the greatest #graphicnovel ever written” and discuss with us on August 8? Reason #4️⃣ more reasons in feed ??

Spiegelman,having survived a nervous breakdown got a gig in the underground comix scene. An assignment was 3page #comic,and he decided to unpack his parents' Holocaust. His father had survived Auschwitz;could he tap Dad's experiences, despite their differences?

"All I knew was: This is unfinished business,"

I just returned from Chicago and look that I found while browsing Hoopla on my trip #graphicnovelsnews. The hilarious and harrowing tale of a 19 old virgin who drops out of everything and into the unknown. Abandoning suburbia for art school young Glenn finds himself fending off predators and fighting depression. The unforgettable #graphicnovel of losing one‘s mind, finding one‘s identity, and discovering love where it‘s least expected.

Stay turned for our next pick for August. It is a very interesting choice and it‘s classic. 🧐

Why do you think authors put Bras as an obituaries writer for his living? Why does not his a reporter or a blue collar professional?

What did you think of the book's non-linear structure, the misordered repetition of lives?
What do you think we're to make of the dream chapter?
How do you interpret the book's conclusion?
How about its supernatural instances in chapter 2? Which was your favourite chapter?

#litsygetsgraphic

Most of Bras death are accidents. Why do you think he dyes this way? In this chapter 👆🏻 his death is a mystery. Let‘s speculate. Was he murdered? If so, why?

Let‘s talk about women characters in this book. We no nothing about Bras sister Clarice, she appears only in two chapters and has one speech bubble. We do not know who is Ana by profession and she is silent in her first appearance. We know that Bras has a half-blood sister but he refuses to acknowledge her. Why does the novel is so muscular? Why are the women characters not developed well?

Daytripper is a book created by two Brazilians and is set in Brazil. Did Brás' story feel very foreign to you? And if so, did this magnify the story or detract from it in your experience? If not, what made Daytripper a comfortable story for you?

#litsygetsgraphic

Daytripper is a book intimately concerned with mortality and its place in life. What did you think of the book's treatment and philosophy of death?

Discussion on 7/7

One of the main purposes of this book was to illustrate quantum physics theory in pictures. Did you understand it? Was it easy to understand?

I did not know that Feynman was a father of nano technologies before reading this book. Did you have any discoveries for yourself? Do you understand physics? Do you like this science?
