THIS BEAUTIFUL RIDICULOUS CITY HC
(W/A) Kay Sohini
On her first night in America, Kay sits on the tarmac of John F. Kennedy International Airport, trying to make an inventory of all the things she left behind in India: her parents, her grandparents, her best friend, and her gaslighting ex-boyfriend. Staring out at New York's flickering city lights, she realizes two things: that the abuse she escaped has created gaping holes in her memory, and that she feels no sadness at leaving her old life behind—only relief and guilt. Thus begins a thought-provoking exploration of one woman's search for self as she navigates the long-lasting effects of the trauma that continue to haunt her even as she finds comfort in the unfamiliarity of New York City. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, This Beautiful, Ridiculous City is a love letter to New York City through the eyes of a woman as complex as the city itself. (STL348110) (C: 0-1-2)

COMICS INTERNATIONAL HISTORY 1964 TO 2024 HC
(W) Emmanuele Payen, Paul Gravett (A) Various
Starting in the mid-1960s, comics rapidly evolved into a highly creative art form for a sophisticated readership: in France, the magazine Hara-Kiri provided new terrains for graphical humor, while the adventures of Jean-Claude Forest's Barbarella were published in albums by Éric Losfeld; the launch in Japan of Garo in 1964, an avant-garde monthly, introduced the concept of auteur comics; and the release of Robert Crumb's Zap Comix in 1968 established his reputation as the leader of the underground comics movement in the United States. This major historical survey of the so-called 'ninth art' establishes a dialogue between the three leading regions of comic book culture—Europe, Asia, and America—and offers an immersive odyssey through the medium's development over six decades.
