Six Bridges Book Festival
Nate Powell & Sally Nixon
Thursday, September 26
7:30pm - 8:30pm
Join us for the artistic author pairing of Nate Powell (Lies My Teacher Told Me, Fall Through) & Sally Nixon (Let's Go to the Mall: An '80s Seek-and-Find).
Nate Powell, who lives in Bloomington, Indiana, is a National Book Award–winning cartoonist and North Little Rock native whose work includes civil rights icon John Lewis’s March trilogy. The full comics adaptation of James Loewen's influential Lies My Teacher Told Me recenters multiple issues at the core of today’s crisis of democracy, from multigenerational misunderstandings of American history to the pitfalls of mythologizing our historical figures. The new graphic novel Fall Through is an interdimensional 1990s Southern punk drama following the changing relationships in an underground Arkansas band locked into an endless tour.
Sally Nixon, who lives in Little Rock, is an illustrator and the author of Houseplants and Hot Sauce: A Seek-and-Find Book for Grown-Ups. In Let's Go to the Mall: An ’80s Seek-and-Find, join Jess, her little sister, and her best friend for a nostalgic ’80s weekend.
