In this incisive dialogue, art critic Michael Kimmelman sits down with acclaimed graphic novelist Art Spiegelman and writer Dave Eggers to explore the interplay of words and visuals. As they scrutinize the craft and impact of storytelling, these three titans of literature and art challenge our assumptions about the line between high and low culture. Through their dynamic exchange, we gain new appreciation for how the written word and the drawn image can unite to captivate, provoke, and transform.
