Joel Feingold, the researcher who worked with the late historian Mike Wallace on the final two books of his epic Gotham trilogy, including the newly published Gotham at War, visits Lit NYC to talk with Harry Siegel about what went into making an epic poem of the city weaving accurate history into myth to try and tell nothing less than the story of the whole world, New York's In Uno Plures tradition — Out of One, Many — as a correction to the American motto, still printed on our money, of E Pluribus Unum, or Out of Many, One, and much more.

In the spirit of the books, it's a sweeping conversation touching on everything and everyone from Martin Scorsese to Zohran Mamdani, what Robert Caro might have got wrong about Robert Moses, and much more.

New York Times obituarist Sam Roberts talks with Harry Siegel about his new book, Are They Dead Yet, writing about the dead on deadline, and much more.

For the last decade, artist, animator, illustrator and performer R Sikoryak has been putting America’s founding documents into conversation with iconic images and characters from comics and cartoons.

That started with the Constitution — “there’s a document everyone says you should read and I wanted to make it readable by adding visuals” — and his new book, Declaration / Emancipation Illustrated, continues with those two documents along with the Gettysburg Address.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Lit NYC host Harry Siegel, Sikoryak talks about getting to New York, cutting his teeth at Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly’s underground cartoon anthology Raw and its ‘Narrative Corpse,” his Masterpiece Comics like Batman’s Crime and Punishment and Charlie Brown’s Metamorphosis, and much more.
