The official release of Kate Beaton’s Hark! A Vagrant, presented by Housing Works, Desert Island and Drawn & Quarterly. No one turns the ironic absurdities of history and literature into comedic fodder as hilariously as Beaton, so don’t miss this chance to see her in action. She’ll be giving a presentation on her work and signing books.

Hark! A Vagrant is an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of New Yorker cartoonist and web sensation Kate Beaton (harkavagrant.com).
