A01-Fall: Beyond "Reality": Graphic Novels and Multicultural Mythologies
Welcome to worlds inhabited by mountain spirits, the Dream Lord, post-apocalyptic survivors, multicultural tricksters and the time-traveling descendants of slaves. Considers the ways writers grounded in traditional belief systems - African, Native American and Chinese - push the boundaries of reality to create a fascinating new type of multicultural literature and hybrid worldviews.
