Paul's Paradoxes
Publisher's weekly has an interview with Chicago artist Paul Hornschemeier about his new graphic novel, The Three Paradoxes. In the interview he shares, "I made the colossal mistake of simultaneously quitting my day job, taking on writing and drawing The Three Paradoxes and contributing regularly to Mome. Which is all well and good, but as it turns out, I have to pay my bills and rent, and though you'd think an independent cartoonist would make absolute mountains of revenue from his two and a half readers, it turns out this isn't quite the case."

As a graduate student in sociology at the University of Chicago, author Sudhir Venkatesh gained entrance into one of Chicago's largest street gangs. Gang Leader for a Day tells the story of the inner workings of the gang and the extraordinary friendship he developed with one of the gang's leaders.
