Koffler Arts is pleased to host the book launch of author and artist Danila Botha’s debut graphic novel, Vidal.

Botha's graphic novel - published by At Bay Press - is part Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis, part Art Spiegelman’s Maus. Her prose and artwork capture the Sephardic Jewish experience through an entirely fresh and unique lens, bringing hope to untold stories that have been trapped in time. Vidal has accrued praise from literary magazines such as The New Yorker, organisations like 49thShelf, and news outlets including CBC Books.

View some of Botha's original artworks in Vidal, like poignant Chagallian vignettes. Enjoy a conversation with Botha and acclaimed Canadian composer and author, Gary Barwin. Botha will read from Vidal and Barwin will perform. And before or following the conversation, reading and performance, purchase your own copy of Vidal from representatives of Ben McNally Books, to be signed by Botha.
