About this event
Kids & FamilyJoin us for the launch of ANXIETYLAND by award-winning popular cartoonist, writer, and illustrator, Gemma Correll, chronicling her lifelong experience with anxiety and depression.
With her ingenious and charming illustrations “bursting with personality...peppered with witty asides” (Publishers Weekly), Correll leads readers through the amusement park in her own mind—featuring severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and dissociation—a frightening and darkly funny world that “feels like a place apart from ‘real’ life.”
A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-body connection, Gemma Correll’s graphic memoir is shot through with the absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through Anxietyland, nor any cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to move forward.
Gemma will be joined by Peter Birkemoe of The Beguiling Book Store to chat about her book.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase by The Beguiling Book Store.
