We’re excited to welcome back to the shop, local author Paul V. Allen!
Paul V. Allen is a researcher and writer focused on documenting the lives and work of creative people. He has published four books – Eleanor Cameron: Dimensions of Amazement, The Hopefuls: Chasing a Rock ‘n’ Roll Dream in the Minnesota Music Scene, I Can Read It All By Myself: The Beginner Books Story, and Jack Kent: The Wit, Wisdom, and Whimsy of a Comic Storyteller – with a couple more on the way. He lives in Normal.
Paul is due to release his new book “Jack Kent: The Wit, Wisdom, and Whimsy of a Comic Storyteller” in August 2023. Jack Kent: The Wit, Whimsy, and Wisdom of a Comic Storyteller illuminates how Kent’s life experiences informed his art and his storytelling in both King Aroo and his children’s books. Paul V. Allen draws from archival research, brand-new interviews, and in-depth examinations of Kent’s work. Also included are many King Aroo comic strips that have never been reprinted in book form.
