As someone who campaigns for the inclusion of graphic novels in the literary scene, a particular event in BLF 2025 became one of those larger-than-life events. I had to get the front seats!
Like many of the head-scratching, bespectacled, hooded nerds, I had no clue who Miglė Anušauskaitė was. So, I ended up doing some digging before the event. That’s what I found:
Miglė Anušauskaitė is a comic book author and senior researcher at the Judaica Research Center. Born in Kaunas in 1988, she later lived in Pakruojis and Vilnius, where she studied, read, wrote, and eventually began to draw. She graduated from Vilnius University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in semiotics. The topics of the author’s work include literature (a comic column in ‘Šiaurės Atėnai’ since 2013), cinema (a column in kulturpolis.lt since 2014), and history (the book 10 litų, together with Gerda Jord, 2014, published by Aukso žuvys; in 2015, the book won the Patriots’ Prize). Her works have been exhibited in collective exhibitions in Italy, the Netherlands, and the Lithuanian National Art Gallery, as well as in a personal comic art exhibition in Klaipėda.
Spoiler alert: I ultimately received her autograph and a personalized illustration on one of her books.
Check out the full article here to read the entire conversation with Miglė along with her amazing art. It's an easy read for most intermediate readers and above.
