Maurice Vellekoop Book Launch

Join us for the book launch of Maurice Vellekoop’s autobiographical graphic novel, I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together; an epic graphic memoir about a queer illustrator surviving his intensely Christian childhood in 1970s Toronto.

“Maurice Vellekoop’s beautiful graphic memoir feels painfully honest. It’s about art and life and families and belief, about who we are and what forms us, the magic and the hurt, and it evokes times that are well-lost while reminding us of the battles still being fought every day. Most of all, I think, it’s about love.” —Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
