Two memoirs tell life-altering stories through illustrations
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Fri Mar 10 2023
Description: Today's episode focuses on two pretty different graphic memoirs. First, artist Kendra Neely – who survived the 2015 shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon – speaks to NPR's Juana Summers about processing the trauma and grief following that day's events in her new memoir, Numb to This. Through illustrations, Neely captures the oversaturation she still feels every time news of a shooting breaks. Then, NPR's Eyder Peralta asks Dan Santat about his memoir First Time for Everything, which recounts his coming-of-age trip across Europe with his eighth grade class.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
