Students in my "Teaching the Graphic Novel" graduate course recently read Alissa Torres' gripping memoir of her post 9/11 days riding the tensions between gratitude and frustration, helplessness and self-advocacy. I don't want to say too much more about American Widow because one of my awesome students will be posting a review in the next few weeks, but I do want to draw attention to this great article at Graphic Novel Reporter in which Torres talks a little about her work.
And check back in the coming weeks for my student's thought on this new and poignant debut graphic novel.

Dr. C,
Would you be interested in a cooperative agreement between EN/SANE and The Graphic Classroom?
Maybe you or some of your students might be interested in writing reviews. Perhaps as an assignment? I don't know. Give me a holler.
