The Tumor in the Clay: Celebrating the book launch with Live Jazz

“Nick Francis’ The Tumor in the Clay plunges into surreal depths as a regarded surgeon turns his scalpel on himself in a journey of self-redemption.”

Join graphic novelist Nick Francis for a conversation with interviewer Stephen Reedy about his book, The Tumor in The Clay, followed by a live performance from The Raul Rivera Jazz Quartet. Settle into your seat, discover the graphic novel, and enjoy the music in our manga-filled lounge.
