Food for Thought: The Sculptor (October 8 Noble Creature)

Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion will meet Thursday, October 8 at 5:30pm at Noble Creature, (126 E. Rayen) to discuss The Sculptor by Scott McCloud. The book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Art Books Culture via Bookshop.

David Smith is giving his life for his art—literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier!

Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable work.
