ROTHKO and PENGUIN DETECTIVE Live Reading Preview!

Matthew Brown reads from two graphic novels with improvised music by Mikhial Gurarie, Adam Reich and Paul Swoger-Ruston! ROTHKO (due to be published by Editions TRIP of Montreal in May) details the life of abstract painter Mark Rothko in 4-panel chapters a-la-"Peanuts" while PENGUIN DETECTIVE, Book One: "The Case of No Case" explains how Poopsie the Penguin first washed up on the shores of Moronto and eventually became a private detective.

Two very different books, but both share a keen eye for life's profligate irony, beauty and humour in lush black and white with atmospheric music. Thrills guaranteed for all! Plus great coffee and baked goods.
