From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March,
a collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era
of necessary protest In this anthology of seven comics essays,
author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era
of what he calls ",necessary protest.", Save It for Later:
Promises, Protest, and the Urgency of Protest is Powell's
reflection on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time
while drawing the award-winning trilogy March, written by
Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's
preeminent historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil
rights movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized
paramilitary presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the
roles we play individually as we interact with our communities,
families, and society at large. Each essay tracks Powell's journey
from the night of the election-promising his four-year-old daughter
that Trump will never win, to the reality of the Republican
presidency, protesting the administration's policies, and
navigating the complications of teaching his children how to raise
their own voices in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous
and more and more polarized.While six of the seven essays are new,
unpublished work, Powell has also included ",About Face,", a comics
essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and
inspired him to expand his work on Save It for Later. The seventh
and final essay will contextualize the myriad events of 2020 with
the previous four years-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global
protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder to the 2020
presidential election itself-highlighting both the consistencies
and inversions of widely shared experiences and observations amidst
a massive social upheaval. As Powell moves between subjective and
objective experiences raising his children-depicted in their
childhood innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic animals-he reveals
the electrifying sense of trust and connection with neighbors and
strangers in protest.He also explores how to equip young people
with tools to best make their own noise as they grow up and help
shape the direction and future of this country.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
