The literary community's embrace of the graphic novel signifies a broad shift in attitude toward comic books. Comics are a serious, versatile, and unique art form, as evidenced by this evening's discussion with four of the medium's youngest and most talented artists. Intersection of the Arts gathers together Jaime Cortez, whose story of a queer Cuban-American, Sexile, was nominated for a National Library Association award; Keith Knight, who bases his work on a childhood full of "Star Wars, hip-hop, racism, and Warner Bros. cartoons"; Miriam Libicki, with her series of stories from the Israeli army, jobnik!; and Ariel Schrag, who published comics (and attracted media attention) when she was only in high school.
