more details » Bohemians: A Graphic History at Green Arcade Bohemians: A Graphic History with Sharon Rudahl, Joel Schecter, Jay Kinney, and Trina Robbins (Verso Press) The countercultures that came to define bohemia spanned the Atlantic, encompassing Walt Whitman's Brooklyn and the Folies Bergere of Josephine Baker, Gertrude Stein's salons and the Manhattan clubs where Dizzy Gillespie made his name. Edited by Paul Buhle and David Berger, Bohemians is the graphic history of this movement and its illustrious figures. The stories collected here revisit the utopian ideas behind millennial communities, the rise of Greenwich Village and Harlem, the multiracial and radical jazz and dance worlds, and the West Coast, Southern, and Midwest bohemias of America, among other radical scenes. Written and drawn by an all-star cast of comic artists,Bohemians is a broad and entertaining account of the rebel impulse in American cultural history. Featuring work by Spain Rodriguez, Sharon Rudahl, Peter Kuper, Sabrina Jones, Trina Robbins, Anne Timmons, Lance Tooks, and more. Bohemians features the last work of underground cartoonist Spain Rodriquez, who passed away in 2012. Several of the contributors to Bohemians--Sharon Rudahl, Joel Schecter, Jay Kinney, and Trina Robbins-- will combine a tribute to Spain with a talk about the book, followed by a book signing.
