 Lebanon, for a semester studying literature. Just 21 years old and having 
 recently broken up with his girlfriend, Warner immersed himself in the 
 vibrant and diverse city, quickly befriending a group of LGBT students. 
 \n\nAmid their friendships, studying and partying, they also witnessed 
 political assassinations and bombings once again erupting in Beirut. As the 
 city descended into violence, Warner felt his grasp on reality slowly 
 beginning to slip as he dealt with past traumas and anxiety over his 
 future.\n\nWarner recounts his experiences in the new graphic memoir 
 "Spring Rain", his third book. \nHe is also author of the New York Times 
 best seller "Brief Histories of Everyday Objects" and is co-creator of 
 "This Land Is My Land". His comics have been published by Slate, Fusion, 
 American Public Media, KQED, UNICEF, the Center for Constitutional Rights, 
 Buzzfeed and other media outlets. He was the recipient of the 2018 Berkeley 
 Civic Arts Grant and the 2019 Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park artist in 
 residency. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and two 
 children.\n\nJoin us for a conversation with Warner about his experiences 
 in Beirut and his creative life since.\n\nHOSTS:\n\nMichelle Meow\nProducer
