Drawn & Quarterly
and Blue Metropolis presents:
A Book Launch for Michel Rabagliati's latest offering, Paul has A Summer Job

Event Time: Wednesday, April 2, 5:00pm Salle Le Floréal Hôtel Renaissance, 3625 Parc

Ave.

Michel Rabagliati won the 2000 Harvey Award for Best New Talent and now he's back to deliver on his promise. Paul has A Summer Job is an all new entirely original 160 page graphic novel about the summer of 1979, and it's his most accomplished book to date. Set in a summer camp in the Laurentians, this is a coming-of-age story with own distinctive Quebecois flavour.

Praise for Paul Has A Summer Job
From Booklist: "Rabagliati's simple black-and-white line drawings and classic comics format are well-suited to this slacker-goes-to-summer camp tale, which has plenty teens can relate to--whether it's Paul's dissatisfaction with the authority figures at his school or a first love. The final act will ring true for older readers nostalgic about their own first overnight camp."

From Quill & Quire: "...the work of a skilled craftsman with a lot teach about the possibilities of the medium"
