Lisa Brown became a New York Times bestseller by illustrating The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming by Lemony Snicket, to whom she is allegedly married. Her other less-bestselling-but-still-worth-something books include How to Be and Vampire Boy’s Good Night for children, McSweeney’s Baby Be of Use series of board books for new parents, and, with author Adele Griffin, Picture the Dead, an illustrated ghost story for young adults. She creates The Three Panel Book Review comic strip for the San Francisco Chronicle. Please visit Lisa at americanchickens.com or follow her sporadic tweets @lisabrowndraws.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support!
