Subtitle: A Graphic Novel
Description: “The Yellow Wall-Paper” is a short story that was written in the late 1800s by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, after she suffered a serious downturn with depression, upon taking a doctor’s advice to engage in the “rest cure” and abandon creative pursuits forever. Now, more than a hundred years later, this image-rich work has been interpreted by artist Sara Barkat in “The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel”—in a manner that combines both philosophical thought and visual intrigue.
