Zachary Thomas Dodson‘s novel Bats of the Republic weaves together a pair of narratives, one historical and once science fictional, along with innovative narrative techniques, impressive illustrations, and nestled narrative elements. To celebrate the book’s release, Dodson will be joined by writer and illustrator Kristen Radtke. Both will show examples of their work and will engage in conversation about their projects. Please join us for a night exploring illustration, literature, and innovative storytelling techniques.

This event will take place at WORD (126 Franklin Street, Brooklyn, NY) on Monday, October 5th. Things will kick off at 7:00 pm. Facebook RSVP here.
