Haunted by Our Childhood Selves in “Ghost World” (1997 Graphic Novel) ft. Jasmine Amiri

Editor Jasmine Amiri (School Library Journal) joins the show to revisit an influential comic by Daniel Clowes from the 90s that spawned the cult classic film. In episode 317 Luke, James, and Jasmine revisit gen X cynicism, try to understand Clowes dislike of the term “graphic novel,” explore how rubylith is used for the color design, and debate the meaning of the in-world title: Ghost World. Join them next week when Jasmine returns to discuss the Terry Zwigoff film starring Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi!
