Ben Katchor May 12, 2008
San Francisco, California
In conversation with monologist Josh Kornbluth
The gently surreal culture in many of Katchor’s strips includes hucksters, butter-and-egg men, latter-day Kabbalists and merchants living in a wonderland of tin ceilings, illuminated storefronts, and unusual enterprises such as the Senseless Elaboration Parlor and the Mortal Coil Mattress Store. The first cartoonist to win a MacArthur "genius grant," Katchor is the author of The Jew of New York, Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer and The Cardboard Valise.
Presented in partnership with the California College of the Arts, the Cartoon Art Museum and the San Francisco Art Institute
