David Barringer, “Design As Literature: The Changing Shape of the Novel”
David Barringer will discuss new mediums of storytelling through his latest project in the works, a written novel that incorporates imaginary magazine covers and interiors, photographs, illustrated stories, a photo comic, and more.
Barringer is the author of novels American Home Life (So New Press, 2007) and Johnny Red (Word Riot Press, 2005) and has contributed to Émigré, I.D., Eye, Voice: AIGA Journal of Design, and the New York Times Book Review, among many others. He was the recipient of the 2008 Winterhouse Award for Design Writing & Criticism, and recently published the essay collection There’s Nothing Funny About Design (Princeton Architectural Press, 2009).
