Coming In September of ’23 from Navied Mahdavian, This Country: Searching for Home In (Very) Rural America (Princeton Architectural Press). Cover art not yet available.
From the publisher:
“Mahdavian’s beautifully written and unflinchingly honest graphic memoir charts his growth and struggles as an artist, citizen, and new father. It celebrates his love of place and honors the relationships he makes in rural America, touching on dynamics like culture, environment, and identity in America, and even articulating difficult moments of racism and brutality he found there as a Middle Eastern American.”
Mr. Mahdavian began contributing to The New Yorker in February of 2018. Visit his website here.

(February 7th) From Sarah Akinterinwa, who began contributing to The New Yorker in August of 2020:
Why You’ll Never find The One: And Why It Doesn’t Matter (Princeton Architectural Press).
From the publisher:
“This illustrated dating guide by cartoonist Sarah Akinterinwa, rooted in her experiences as a Black woman in her late twenties, encourages readers to be introspective, honest, and practical in their love lives.”
