The Academic Hour

By Keren Katz

Book Overview

Open every illuminated correspondence between two star-crossed artists yet to meet - and discover a dizzying, dazzling almost love story.

The 2018 Slate Book Review and the Center for Cartoon Studies sixth annual Cartoonist Studio Prize winner for Best Print Comic, the Academic Hour charts the romance between Poethel, a disgraced architecture professor, and his student, Liana. Told in a series of surreal, vibrant vignettes, and set in a fantastic, logic-defying college of shifting rooms and secret performance spaces, the Academic Hour affirms how an intense, fledgling relationship can ignite the impulse for storytelling with unbridled, ferocious creative energy.
