A Conversation with Özge Samanci
December 10th, 2015 by jules
“I was afraid of making this book. It was perfect in my mind. I did not want to try and ruin it. But the idea was burning in me. … Living with a book in my mind that long was painful. It was like dragging a heavy suitcase wherever you go.”
Today over at Kirkus, I talk to Özge Samanci, pictured here, about her debut book, the graphic memoir Dare to Disappoint: Growing Up in Turkey.
That Q&A is here today, and next week here at 7-Imp I’ll follow up with some art from Özge’s book.
