You may already be familiar with the work of Ben Katchor, from his comic strips which appear in Metropolis Magazine and The Forward, or from his graphic novels, Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer: The Beauty Supply District and The Jew of New York.

If you are, you’ll understand why the MacArthur Foundation awarded him a fellowship and why fans like me just can’t get enough of his work.

And, if you’re not, you’re in for a special treat:

From now until May 2007, The Yiddish Book Center of Amherst, MA will be exhibiting The Backlit Word: Picture-stories and drawings by Ben Katchor.

I can’t think of a better way to discover Ben Katchor’s work!
