Longform: An Anthology of Graphic Narratives
Longform Annual presents stories that subvert conventional narrative; stories about ordinary people; autobiographies; travel tales - and through these stories establish comics as a permanent feature on a reader's shelf. The name 'Longform' is inspired by a Joe Sacco essay on the shrinking space to tell long graphic stories. The anthology takes us through the streets of Rome and Kolkata, modern day Tehran and ancient Bhutan, around-the-corner dystopias, imaginary cities and kaleidoscopic dreamscapes. The artists presented here include well-known names from India and elsewhere, such as Prakash Moorthy, Barroux, Venkat Shyam, Allen Shaw, as well as emerging artists.
