Susceptible (Drawn & Quarterly)

Cartoonist Geneviève Castrée will discuss and sign her highly anticipated debut graphic novel, Susceptible.

"With mesmerizing honesty Castrée resurrects the obscenely disorienting turning points of a childhood, the ones that haunt a person for a lifetime. After reading the last page I closed the book and wept a little bit about its simple, perfect ending."
–Miranda July, author of It Chooses You and No One Belongs Here More Than You

Geneviève Castrée was born in Québec in 1981. Sometimes interdisciplinary, she is mostly known for her work as an illustrator and cartoonist. Impatient and lazy, Geneviève never officially studied "art."
