Join the first of our quarterly book clubs centered around the art of the graphic novel where we’ll be discussing The Woman With Fifty Faces: Maria Lani & The Greatest Art Heist That Never Was. Author Jonathan Lackman and illustrator Zachary James Pinson will be present to answer questions about this biographical graphic novel, which chronicles the elusive life and tumultuous times of Maria Lani. This casual book club and roundtable is facilitated by R&D Store staff and Colleen AF Venable.
