SUMMARY:Brian Selznick - The Marvels
DESCRIPTION:From Brian Selznick\,  the Caldecott Award-winning creator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck\, comes a breathtaking voyage of the mind and heart. In this masterful reimagining of the form he originated\, two stand-alone stories—the first in pictures\, the second in prose—together create a beguiling narrative puzzle.  As readers piece together the mystery of how the two narratives connect\, they will be swept up in a gripping adventure that is also a moving exploration of our need to belong and to tell stories. \nBrian Selznick joins us to discuss his newest book\, The Marvels\, followed by a Q & A session with the audience. An autographed copy of the book is included with your admission. Don’t miss this fascinating and insightful evening with this award-winning author and illustrator! \n \nCaldecott Award winner and bookmaking trailblazer Brian Selznick once again plays with the form he invented and delivers a moving and mesmerizing adventure about the power of story. Two seemingly unrelated stories — one in words\, the other in pictures — come together with spellbinding synergy! The illustrated story begins in 1766 with Billy Marvel\, the lone survivor of a shipwreck\, and charts the adventures of his family of actors over five generations. The prose story opens in 1990 and follows Joseph\, who has run away from school to an estranged uncle’s puzzling house in London\, where he\, along with the reader\, must piece together many mysteries. How the picture and word stories intersect will leave readers marveling over Selznick’s storytelling prowess. Filled with mystery\, vibrant characters\, surprise twists\, and heartrending beauty\, and featuring Selznick’s most arresting art to date\, The Marvels is a moving tribute to the power of story. \nBrian Selznick is the Caldecott award-winning author and illustrator of The New York Times bestsellers The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck. He is also the illustrator of many celebrated picture books and novels\, among them Caldecott Honor Winner The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins by Barbara Kerley\, and Sibert Honor Winner When Marian Sang by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Brian has previously worked as a set designer and a puppeteer. \nThis evening is presented in association with Book Passage whose valued contributions to  our community continue to inspire us. \nBook Passage has served the Bay Area for more than 30 years\, providing the community with an array of author events\, writing and language classes\, and highly-respected annual conferences. \nA world renowned community bookstore reporting bookstore\, we offer a wide variety of books ranging from children’s literature to travel guides\, from top-selling fiction to mystery novels\, and we continue to work diligently with community and nonprofit organizations. \n
