C'est avec surprise qu'en accueillant Florent Degletagne des éditions Bliss, nous nous sommes rappelés que l'éditeur n'était pas venu taper la discute avec nous depuis les tout débuts de ce podcast (quand nous avions mis en avant leur parution de l'autobiographie de Trina Robbins). On rattrape donc ce manque avec notre tournée 2023/2024 auprès des éditeurs de comics en France, surtout qu'un grand lancement se prépare cette semaine du côté de Bliss !Un énorme projet qui débarque chez BlissAux côtés de Florent, on rattrape donc le temps perdu en évoquant les années difficiles post-2020, puisque Bliss Editions ayant été l'éditeur de Valiant en France, ils dont dû faire avec une maison d'édition qui, aux Etats-Unis, ne s'est jamais relevée de la crise du Covid. Mais l'éditeur est vaillant - sans jeu de mots - et a continué à défendre cet univers autant qu'il le pouvait, tout en forgeant un autre pan de publications destinés à un public plus jeune, et qui a permis de découvrir de fantastiques auteurices comme K. O'Neill, Hanna Templer ou Wendy Xu (qu'on avait reçue, là). En 2024, c'est avec une joie non dissimulée que l'on pourra ENFIN lire les comics de Bad Idea (l'entreprise menée par Dinesh Shamdasani) avec L'Oeil D'Odinn, Pyrate Queen et bien d'autres - on vous laisse découvrir tout ça dans le podcast !Si vous appréciez notre travail, soutenez-le en partageant l'émission, en parlant du podcast autour de vous, et en nous soutenant via Tipeee si vous le pouvez !

Présente à la dernière édition en date du festival Quai des Bulles, l'autrice Wendy Xu était dans la foulée en tournée de dédicace à travers notre beau pays, afin de signer les éditions françaises de ses travaux sortis chez Bliss Editions, à savoir Mooncakes et Tidesong (dont on vous parlait tout récemment en Back Issues). Nous avons donc eu le plaisir de pouvoir échanger dans un petit café avec l'autrice, afin de discuter de créations d'imaginaires, d'écriture pour un public jeunesse et de dessin - une interview à rajouter dans notre longue liste de SuperFriends VO !   Rencontre en podcast avec Wendy Xu  L'imaginaire de Wendy Xu emprunte beaucoup au manga, à l'animation (japonaise ou non) ainsi qu'à la mythologie asiatique - et plus particulièrement celle chinoise, puisque c'est de ce pays dont est originaire l'autrice. Ces inspirations se retrouvent dans ses ouvrages, où la fantasy et la magie ont une part assez importante. Avec les exemples de Mooncakes (qui vient de sortir chez Bliss Editions mais est techniquement son premier album) et Tidesong, on décortique donc le processus créatif avec Wendy.   Commandez Mooncakes à ce lien !   Commandez Tidesong à ce lien !   Si vous appréciez ces podcasts et le travail qu'ils représentent, alors vous pouvez nous soutenir tout simplement en partageant l'émission, ce qui fera découvrir en même temps l'invitée et son travail. Par ailleurs, une page Tipeee est également ouverte en permanence afin d'assurer la pérennité du podcast !     Soutenez First Print - Podcast Comics de Référence sur Tipeee

We choose a fluffy graphic novel that was nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award. Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and drawn by Wendy Xu tells the story of a young witch named Nova who must help their friend Tam combat a demon hellbent on possessing them. Tam is a werewolf on the run from a villainous cult. With help from their grandmothers known as the Nans, family, and a little romance, this story holds a lot of power. It's also heavy on positive representation and just a wholesome time. We really enjoyed reading this one!   Next month's book is No Gods for Drowning by Hailey Piper. We liked The Worm and His Kings so much we came back for another book!    Twitter.Com/SharedPagesPod

It's 2023 and we decided to start the new year off on a slightly cosmic bend. The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle follows a man named Charlie as he navigates Harlem, magic, racism, and a strange man's desire to awaken a cosmic entity known as The Sleeping King. For a short story, this book contains a lot of characterization and leaves the horror up to the imagination. The events blur together sometimes in this story in a dream-like way!  Next month's book is a graphic novel called: Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu!   Come read along with us over at Twitter.Com/SharedPagesPod!

Joining us for this episode is comics artist and illustrator Wendy Xu, who made Tidesong, Mooncakes, and the upcoming The Infinity Particle. The post Talking about Comics with Wendy Xu by Matt Keeley appeared first on Kittysneezes.

Why does the world of young adult fiction seem to have more wizards, werewolves, and vampires in it than astronauts and engineers?And why have the writers of the blockbuster YA books of the last 20 years fixated so consistently on white, straight, cisgender protagonists while always somehow forgetting to portray the true diversity of young people's backgrounds, identities, orientations, and experiences?Well, you could write a whole dissertation about those questions. But instead, my friend and colleague A. R. Capetta and I went out and assembled a counterweight. It's a YA science fiction collection called Tasting Light: Ten Science Fiction Stories to Rewire Your Perceptions, and after more than two years of work, it comes out today—October 11, 2022.Tasting Light highlights the plausible futures of science fiction rather than the enticing-but-impossible worlds of fantasy. Don't get me wrong: I love both kinds of stories. But fantasy doesn't need any extra help these days—just turn on your favorite streaming TV network and you'll see show after show featuring dragons, magic, and swordplay. There's some great science fiction out there too (The Expanse, For All Mankind, the never-ending Star Trek universe), but it isn't nearly as pervasive.The two genres do different kinds of work, and I think Hollywood and the mainstream publishing world have been focusing so hard on one that the other has been getting edged out. That's too bad, because to me, fantasy is the literature of escape, longing, and lost worlds, while science fiction is the literature of hope and possibility. And hope is something we need more of these days.As a project, Tasting Light was born at Candlewick Press, a prominent publisher of YA and middle-grade books based here in the Boston area. Candlewick had formed a pair of collaborations with the MIT Press called MITeen Press and MIT Kids Press, and they were looking for someone to put together a YA-oriented science fiction collection under the MITeen Press imprint—a book that would do for the YA market what the MIT Press and MIT Technology Review's Twelve Tomorrows books (one of which I edited in 2018) was doing for mainstream sci-fi. Namely, prove that it's stil possible to create technically realistic “hard” science fiction in the style of Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, or Robert Heinlein from the 1950s and 1960s, but do it in a way that speaks to readers now in the 2020s. (For more on the Twelve Tomorrows vision listen to my 2018 episode Science Fiction That Takes Science Seriously.)At the same time, though, MITeen Press wanted to open up space for stories that reflect a wider range of human experiences and perspectives. So they recruited A. R. and me to edit, and we went out and recruited the smartest, most accomplished, most diverse set of authors we could find to write hard sci-fi stories with heroes who would be recognizable and relatable to young adults today.As you'll hear in today's episode, that includes William Alexander, whose story “On the Tip of My Tongue” follows two young people of unspecified gender as they attempt to tame the loopy orbital mechanics of a space station suspended at the L1 LaGrange point. It includes the Chicago-based thriller and sci-fi writer K. Ancrum, who wrote a lovely story called “Walk 153” about a the complex relationship that develops between a lonely, infirm, elderly woman and the college student who helps her experience the outside world through his GoPro-like body camera. And it includes the prolific Elizabeth Bear, who wrote a story called “Twin Strangers” that tackles the issues of body dysmorphic disorder and anorexia through a story about two teenage boys and their misadventures programming their “dops” or metaverse avatars. There's also a luminous story by A. R. themself called “Extremophiles,” set amidst the ice of distant Europa. And there are five more remarkable stories by Charlotte Nicole Davis, Nasuġraq Rainey Hopson, A.S. King, E.C. Myers, and Junauda Petrus-Nasah, as well as a gorgeous comic / graphic novella by Wendy Xu about a sentient robot and the teen girl who discovers it in the forest.The reviews of Tasting Light have been wondrous and welcome. Kirkus Reviews gives it a rare starred review and says “Capetta and Roush introduce engaging, thoughtful, beautifully written entries about identity and agency, all unfolding within the bounds of real science.” Publishers Weekly calls it “dazzling” and notes that “the creators seamlessly tackle relevant issues such as colonization, misogyny, transphobia, and white entitlement in this eclectic celebration of infinite possibility and the ever-present human spirit.” Buzzfeed says “Each story is unique, brilliant, and brimming with hope.”I hope the three excerpts you'll hear in today's episode will entice you to get a copy of Tasting Light for yourself; it's available at Amazon and everywhere you buy books. Or if you decide to become a new supporter of Soonish on Patreon at the $10-per-episode level or above, between now and December 31, 2022, I'll send you a free signed copy of the book!For more about this episode, including a full transcript, please visit http://www.soonishpodcast.org/soonish-509-tasting-light

In Episode 2 of Multi-Verse, poet Wendy Xu reads her poem “A Sound Not Unlike a Bell,” and chats with host Evangeline Riddiford Graham about the poem's themes of family, migration, and revision as a practice of love. It's a special opportunity to hear a poem of this length performed in a single sitting—sit back and feast your ears. Find “A Sound Not Unlike a Bell” in Wendy Xu's new book, The Past (Wesleyan University Press, 2021), available here: https://www.weslpress.org/9780819580467/the-past/ Listen to more poetry at multiversepoetry.org

This time on Cassie's Corner... We're chatting about Mooncakes by Wendy Xu, Suzanne Walker and Joamette Gil. A cute short story about magic and love with a touch of cute spirits!

Wendy Xu curates poems that underscore the necessity of attention for the writing of poems, reminding us that to write is to think, to look, and to be present. She introduces James Tate on bending reality through attention to everything (“Rescue”), Mei-mei Berssenbrugge on the connection between the spiritual and the somatic (“Hello, the Roses”), and Joyelle McSweeney on being unafraid of excess (“Percussion Grenade”). Xu closes with her poem “Why Write,” which engages with the past as a living, risky force.You can find the full recordings of Tate, Berssenbrugge, and McSweeney reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:James Tate (1968)Mei-mei Berssenbrugge (2010)Joyelle McSweeney (2012)

On this week's episode. Brian and Darci cover the 2019 graphic novel, Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang. They spend over an hour going over everything from basketball, to racism, to the general treatment of youth athletes. It's a great graphic novel that is packed with a lot of information, so there is a lot to talk about this week. Also, Brian breaks the rules slightly and talks about the Milestone Comics revival and Darci continues the conversation from last episode about the work of cartoonist Vernon Grant. Other books discussed in this episode are By The Horns #1, Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters #1 and the upcoming Tidesong by Wendy Xu. Comics Deserve Better is a weekly podcast hosted by Brian Stafford and Darci Meadville and covers the world of Independent Comics.

Preferably fiction and/or fun/uplifting Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet; Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan; Take the Mic edited by Bethany C. Morrow; Snow in Love; Hope Nation edited by Rose Brock; The Radical Element edited by Jessica Spotswood. A gift for my brother who isn’t a big reader. He’s in college, loves soccer and video games, and hasn’t enjoyed a book since reading Holes in middle school. Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith; Slay by Brittany Morris; The Pros of Cons by Alison Cherry; Booked by Kwame Alexander; Furia by Yamile Saied Mendez; Warcross by Marie Lu; Feed by MT Anderson. New, contemporary, socially conscious, diverse. Yes No Maybe So by Aisha Saeed and Becky Albertalli; The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert; Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi and Yusuf Salaam; Running by Natalia Sylvester; We Didn’t Ask For This by Adi Alsaid; Dear Justyce by Nic Stone. Diverse body positive books. What I Like About Me by Jenna Guillaume; Melt My Heart by Bethany Rutter; My Eyes Are Up Here by Laura Zimmermann; Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero; If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann; Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy edited by Kelly Jensen. YA dealing with survivors of sexual abuse/pedophilia/other childhood trauma: some of my favorites that I’ve read are Sadie, Girl in Pieces, Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Speak. Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson; Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough; The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith; Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn; How Dare the Sun Rise by Sandra Uwiringyimana; Wrecked by Maria Padian; Infandous by Elana K. Arnold; In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. A YA book to get my friend who doesn’t really read….p.s. she really likes Disney. Disney’s Twisted Tales; Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige; Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo; Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee. One of my high school students likes mysteries and fantasy novels, but doesn’t like any “kissing” (i.e. lots of romance or a focus on a relationship). What suggestions could I give her? Goldie Vance: The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera; Endangered by Lamar Giles; Jennifer Lynn Barnes; Karen M. McManus; Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn. A book for my 16 year old nephew who is a very particular reader. Used to love Rick Riordan but has moved on. Beyond Riordan, the only books I’ve sent him that he has actually called begging for the sequels is Scythe. He likes Agatha Christie “because it makes him think” (to figure out what is going on). I’ve tried AS King and Going Bovine, but have not gotten a reaction and all the fantasy tried and trues. Would love an idea from you! Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore; The Future will be BS-free by Will McIntosh; The Lines We Cross by Randa Abdel-Fattah; Warcross and Legend by Marie Lu. A contemporary with some magic and some romance, but the story does not center grief. Now and When by Sara Bennett Wealer; Displacement by Kiku Hughes; Lobizona by Romina Garber. I am looking for a fantasy novel with romance that ideally is part of an almost finished or finished series. I have already read many of the popular ones, so I guess I am looking for those that were a bit more under the radar. I have read/started the Folk of the Air Series, A Court of Thorns and Roses Series, Red Queen Series, all of Cassandra Clare, etc. and loved them all! Looking for something in that realm. Blythewood by Carol Goodman; Lost Voices by Sarah Porter; The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd; Brooklyn Brujas by Zoraida Cordova. Warm fuzzy story about family (chosen, biological, adopted, whatever) with winter holiday(s) (not necessarily Christmas, but Christmas ok) as a backdrop and a happy ending. Something wintery and hopeful. (At least something that leaves the reader with some hope.) I like a variety of things. Some writers whose work I’ve enjoyed: Katie Henry, Karen McManus, Tomi Adeyemi, Jenny Han, Nina LaCour, and too many names to list. A few books I’ve read and enjoyed because of this podcast: Agnes at the End of the World, We Are the Perfect Girl, and Orpheus Girl. 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston; The Kid Table by Andrea Seigel; The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody. A feminist book like Rules for Being a Girl. Girls Like Us by Randi Pink; The Degenerates by J. Albert Mann; Burn Baby Burn by Meg Medina; Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan. Books for a 13 year-old. She loves the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare and anything written by Rick Riordan. Recently, I loaned her my copy of With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo (one of my favorite YA authors ever) and she loved it. I’d really like to give her books in a genre she loves and one that will expand her reading material. Finding Yvonne by Brandy Colbert; New Kid/Class Act by Jerry Craft; Inventing Victoria by Tonya Bolden; Akata Witch/Akata Warrior by Nnedi Okorafor. Something that will make me laugh, but also teach me something. The Go-Between by Veronica Chambers; Cherry by Lindsey Rosin; Unpregnant by Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan; We Are The Perfect Girl by Ariel Kaplan. I’m looking for at book for my niece (18 years old). She is not an avid reader out side required reading in school. She’s not that into fantasy and Sci fi, she likes contemporary fiction better. She might like a short story collection because 40 pages is not as daunting as 350 pages (or more if it’s a series) for a story. Books she had liked recently: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera and Broken Things by Lauren Oliver. Try Margarita Engle, Nikki Grimes, Stephanie Hemphill, Kwame Alexander as an alternative to short stories but still with a lot of white space, as it may be less intimidating; Toil and Trouble edited by Jessica Spotswood and Tess Sharpe; Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. I’m interested in spooky tales, thrillers, science fiction, and non-WWII fiction. No dystopias or urban fantasy, please! The most important thing to me as an aromantic asexual person is that’s there’s no significant romantic element. I don’t want the main character to have any romantic partners or to spend several pages daydreaming about their crush(es). Thanks! Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke; Dread Nation by Justina Ireland; Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham; The Blood Confession by Alisa M. Libby; The Girl From The Well by Rin Chupecho; Jackaby by William Ritter; Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour. A book for my 19 year old sister who loves Wilder Girls and The Poet X. She is a fan of feminism, horror, and queerness in books. The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters; Mary’s Monster by Lita Judge; The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis; Furia by Yamile Saied Mendez; We Are The Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian; The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus. A book for my daughter. She recently told me that she is gay. I want to show her how much I love her and accept her. She loves graphic novels and has read many of the most popular ones featuring same sex relationships. Everything Noelle Stevenson! Lumberjanes, Nimona, The Fire Never Goes Out; Queer: A Graphic History by Meg John Barker and Julia Scheele; Skim by Mariko Tamaki; Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu; Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable and Ellen T. Crenshaw; Moonstruck by Grace Ellis and Shae Bragl. Something heavily folklore-based (Maggie Stiefvater or higher level of “heavily”) and LGBTQ+ please? European and Asian folklore are my favorite but I’ll be happy to dive into any other as well. Anna-Marie McLemore; A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Elsie Chapman and Ellen Oh; Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco; A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha; Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao; Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardost. A fantasy or science fiction novel, preferably action-packed. Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger; The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline; Cut Off by Adrianne Finley; Orleans by Sherri L. Smith. An awesome ghost story. The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco; Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn; Horrid by Katrina Leno; The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring; Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour; Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All by Laura Ruby; Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. School for Good & Evil read-alikes for 14-year-old reluctant reader. Thanks! Carry On by Rainbow Rowell; The Irregular at Magic High School manga series by Tsutomu Sato; The Black Mage by Daniel Howard Barnes; Supermutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki; A Blade so Black by LL McKinney; Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim; Liz Braswell’s Twisted Fairy Tales series; Melissa Albert’s The Hazel Wood.

Happy New Year! We kick off 2020 with someone you may already know: our fearless founder and friend, Soleil Ho. She's about to celebrate her first anniversary at the San Francisco Chronicle, and she sits down with Stephanie and Juan to reflect on the year as the paper's new and revolutionary food critic. They talk about her favorite (and most ruffling) pieces, what it's like to eat out 350 times in a year, and how she's coped with people who aren't *ready* for her hot takes. But before all that, Stephanie and Juan have some exciting news about their travel plans this spring. Produced by Stephanie Kuo and Juan Ramirez. Music by Brad Turner and Blue Dot Sessions. Art by Wendy Xu.

Our new friend Cynthia wants to age gracefully. So buckle up everyone, it's time to face our own mortality! This is something Anne and Gale have thought about since they were small children, but we guess Cynthia's a late bloomer. Caroline finds comfort in growing older into a Julia Louis Dreyfus. Anne's older spirit animal is Dianne Keaton, and of course her mom! Gale and Caroline suggest Cynthia look inward and try taking stock of her happiness in her "golden years". Caroline gets zen, Gale teaches us how to tap dance with the help of Rachel Green and Anne tells Cynthia to make out with her life. Ultimately we all agree that youth is in the eye of someone who's young; and if you're not young, that's ok! Also, you're never too old to discover Ann Patchett and Oliver Sacks.    Cynthia's fountain of recommendations to leave her youth behind:  Harry Potter and the Sacred Text (podcast) Gale Julia Louis Dreyfus (person) Caro Veep (show) Caro Inside Amy Schumer sketch “Last Fuckable Day” (sketch) Caro Diane Keaton (person) Anne Book Club (movie) Gale’s mom Do the wild thing!

As an Asian American, what is your Wakanda? Did you ever consider it being the obscure 2005 Xbox game Jade Empire? On this episode, we're continuing to highlight the recent launch Go Home!, our anthology of Asian diasporic writers published in collaboration with the Feminist Press. Contributing writers Alexander Chee, Karissa Chen, Chaya Babu, Wendy Xu, Gina Apostol, & the anthology’s editor, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan had a hilarious and heartwarming conversation and Q&A in the final act of our two-hour event. They talk about the first books that made them feel seen, the importance of community, and of course, appreciating Black Panther.

We’re highlighting the recent launch of Go Home!, our anthology published in collaboration with the Feminist Press, featuring Asian diasporic writers who imagine “home” in the twenty-first century through an array of fiction, memoir, and poetry. On March 12th, we hosted a release party at our event space in Manhattan with contributing writers Alexander Chee, Karissa Chen, Chaya Babu, Wendy Xu, Gina Apostol, & the anthology’s editor, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan who read to a packed house. It was an incredible evening and we’re excited to share the audio with you. Because it was a two-hour event, we’re splitting it into two podcast episodes: this episode will feature the introduction and readings, including Alexander Chee on his first roommate and Gina Apostol on Kundimans.

We’re starting a new series called Poetry Potluck featuring audio from our favorite AAWW poetry events and showcasing exciting poets of the moment. In Poetry Potluck 1, we have poets Ocean Vuong, Janine Joseph, and Wendy Xu reading from their work and having a conversation about writing process, family, and the body. Jennifer Hayashida introduces and moderates the conversation.

My guest today is the Suzanne Walker, author of the webcomic Mooncakes with artist Wendy Xu. One of the best webcomics out today, Mooncakes is a tale of two Asian-American teen girls who fall in love and also happen to be a witch and a werewolf, respectively.  Check it out for yourself right here. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Music for this episode is by Vela Seff. Once again, this year’s primary logo is by Chicago’s very own, Brandon Chase, while the slapdash photoshop homages are by me with a little help from some friends as noted. Got an idea for a topic? Heck, wanna Skype in to be featured on an episode of the show? Tweet #CastADay to Matt here: @SpokeCast Subscribe to the podcast directly in iTunes, or listen in iTunes.
