The Goa Writers Group hosted an absorbing audio-visual workshop - Get Graphic: Introduction to the Literary Face of Comics, at the Central Library, Panjim, Goa, India, on July 10, 2012. The picture at my FlickR photostream link http://www.flickr.com/photos/52243088@N00/7549127892/in/photostream shows Vivek Menezes introducing Amruta Patil, the renowned author of the graphic novel "Kari", to the writers, artists and others who participated in the unique literary event. Amruta spoke on "Kari", her novel released by Harper Collins in 2008, and the forthcoming "Adi Parva". Vivek, Anirudh, Salil Chowdary and Jose Lourenco spoke on the different facets of the graphic book and the possibility of starting a writer-artist group for such publications in Goa. I would love to read your comments on the graphic novel/book. Regards. Joel.
