La vie is like that published by Seaton Street Press, NYABF launch
I am incredibly excited to announce the publication of La vie is like that with independent publisher Seaton Street Press. La vie is like that takes its inspiration from the philosophical thought experiment 'The Ship of Theseus,' which reflects on the concept of the persistence of identity - if every part of an object is replaced over time is it the same object? La vie … explores the connection between language and identity. The work, in text and risograph images, touches upon themes of change, immigration, connection, dementia, loss, speech, love, and humor. The book is structured as an alphabet primer (A is for Aphasia... E is for Emerson... U is for Umzug) that blends languages - reflecting my father's combinations of French, Creole, and English, as well as my own study of German. The book will be available for purchase at the Seaton Street Press table (C19) at this year’s NYABF (April 25-28). I will be signing copies Sunday April 28th from 2-4pm.
