Art Spiegelman

Nice interview here with Art Spiegelman about his upcoming 9/11-haunted book, In The Shadow of No Towers. This will be one of the rare books that I purchase new, immediately upon release. (Aleksandar Hemon's next novel will be the next, whenever that blessed event might be.)

I wish I could do comics about "My Year in Provence," or something. But so far it has been the painful realities that I can barely grasp that force me to the drawing table. I'm kind of hoping my next work will be a humorous bedroom farce about the amusing foibles of the upper middle class, intercut with succulent dessert recipes. Unfortunately, I seem to have a rather grotesque muse.
