The book is launching on May 3rd, 2011 with a free discussion with the entire creative team behind the book — including indie-comics star John Porcellino —hosted by This Is Not A Reading Series.
The hour-long discussion will be followed by a reception, and will also mark the opening of an exhibition of original artwork from The Next Day, as well as animations, soundscapes, projections and more from the upcoming interactive experience at the NFB Mediatheque in Toronto through late May.
