Quirky Books for Fall 2014

摘要

Six authors, a few of whom were bemused by the term quirky, presented titles that were a little different at the United for Libraries "Quirky Books for Quirky Librarians" panel on Saturday, June 28. First up was Liz Climo, a cartoonist who explained that her route to her new book, The Little World of Liz Climo, had not been without its twists and turns. After being rejected from a college animation and illustration program and feeling intimidated as there were "so many great artists," she put her dreams of being a cartoonist on the back burner. Luckily, the artist explained, "standards at The Simpsons were much lower," and she got a job animating for the famed, long-running TV show. The result of Climo's persistence, a book of 100 existing images and 50 new ones that are "childlike but meant for an older audience," will be published by Running Press (Sept.).
