Written by black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by multi-media artist and cartoonist Mia Wolff,�Bread & Wine�is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriended Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple�Delany, a professor at Philadelphia�s Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans,�Bread & Wine�is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolff�s sensitive portrayal of the couple�s physicality. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters� �body language� and the bustling New York setting but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem �Bread and Wine� by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields.This updated edition includes a new foreword by the novelist Junot Diaz, the earlier edition�s introduction by Alan Moore, commentary by the book�s protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff.
