Upcoming Special Issue of Modern Fiction Studies

Graphic Narratives
Guest Editors: Marianne DeKoven and Hillary L. Chute

Deadline for Submission: 1 March 2006

This special issue seeks essays on book-length works composed in the medium of comics. The emergence of graphic narratives-also called "graphic novels"-combines a sophisticated and experimental awareness of form with a powerful political awareness of comics as a mass medium. The book publication of Art Spiegelman's _Maus: A Survivor's Tale_ brought graphic narratives to the academy; in the two decades since the publication of the first volume of Maus, the field of graphic narratives has expanded significantly.

Peace Review is looking for Book Reviewers for each of its quarterly
issues. Our book reviews are generally short (usually 2000 words),
although we're also interested in book review essays (of two or more
books), which can run 3500 words. The reviews will appear in our
Recommended Book section, and thus we're looking for positive reviews
(although flaws should obviously also be mentioned, if appropriate).

Peace Review is also looking for books to review, in the general
category of peace and justice studies. If you have published a book,
and are looking for a review, then please send (or have your publisher
send) us a copy of the book.
