This event has ended.

School of Visual Arts presents “The Crying Child,” featuring work by first-year MFA Illustration as Visual Essay students enrolled in the Book Seminar course.

The work in this exhibition was inspired by Bruce McAllister’s short story “The Crying Child,” a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award.

“This suspenseful coming-of-age story,” says Koen, “blends the Cold War atmosphere in Italy, a family scared by the dramatic loss of a child, losing a pet, and a legendary ominous village where, like a hydra, every riddle answered only causes a multitude of questions. The mystery-infused plot unfolds in a time and place that required research as a source of inspiration instead of the overbearing need for historical accuracy.”
