Join us for an open, honest conversation about mental health and the ways in which the medical system can exacerbate anxiety and depression even as it tries to help. The conversation will be guided by a shared reading of The Hospital Suite, an autobiographical comic by John Porcellino.
The Hospital Suite is a landmark work by the celebrated cartoonist and small-press legend John Porcellino―an autobiographical collection detailing his struggles with illness in the 1990s and early 2000s. Porcellino's work is lauded for its universality and quiet, clear-eyed contemplation of everyday life. The Hospital Suite is a testimony to this subtle strength, making his struggles with the medical system and its consequences for his mental health accessible and engaging.
