Omschrijving

A 2016 MacArthur Fellow, Gene Luen Yang (b. 1973) is an influential figure in independent and mainstream comics. His work for children, young adult, and adult readers promotes understanding between different cultures and peoples. His American Born Chinese is the first graphic novel to win the American Library Association's Printz Award and the first graphic novel to be a National Book Award finalist. As an educator, he uses comics to teach mathematics, writing, and computer programming. As a public figure, he is a strong advocate for comics' power in education.

Yang is known for engaging stories featuring marginalized characters and building empathy. They draw inspiration from folklore, history, literature, and popular culture and reimagine well-known characters like the Monkey King and Superman in the context of Asian American experience. Gene Luen Yang provides a critical account of his journey from self-publishing minicomics to creating award-winning graphic novels and superhero characters for DC and Marvel.

This first-ever book-length study of Yang looks at how his life shapes his career, together with the inspiration behind his characters and stories. It examines Yang's significance and impact in academia, in the comics community, and among general audiences. Organized thematically, it weaves together a literary biography of the cartoonist and critical analyses of his work. The book draws on extensive research and covers Yang's entire body of work. It connects his comics and graphic novels with his personal experience, while providing critical insights on his unique styles.
