Stephanie is an author at this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival, and here’s your opportunity to come see me in conversation of love! Convo on her own works will orbit Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back and works that center the heart and desire, with Heartcore in mind. A great way to also launch To Love Like Venus!

Reposting from the Czech Center:

“To the Heart of It | WED, SEP 17, 7:00 PM | Bohemian National Hall

We’re thrilled to welcome Czech author Štěpánka Jislová to New York as part of her U.S. tour for the English-language launch of her acclaimed graphic novel Heartcore (Graphic Mundi, 2025).

In conversation with American writer Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos, Jislová explores the tangled realities of intimacy, gender, and identity through the lens of comics autobiography. What shapes our ideas of love—biology, childhood, culture, or something entirely beyond our control?

Moderated by scholar Tahneer Oksman, this Brooklyn Book Festival Bookend Event marks the New York debut of Heartcore, originally published in Czech as Srdcovka and winner of multiple Muriel Awards. Raw, intimate, and unflinching, Jislová’s most ambitious work to date traces the messy intersections of love, loneliness, gender expectations, and desire.”

Enjoy the live read Stephanie did on Instagram as she becomes anew in southern Crete during Persephone’s season of Spring.

She read excerpts of their work, and then an excerpt from Event Horizon, the story “Event Horizon”, based on an unpublished novel, To Love Like Venus. “I read to the rocks and seagulls. I read to the Libyan Sea. Enjoy this echo.”

Event Horizon got its Human Authored stamp from the Authors Guild, because all stories are written by a human.

And all art was commissioned or are reprints by human artists.

Welcome the new organic sticker for books (no longer just for eggs).

At long last, Event Horizon in print is here! All three covers look gorgeous in their own three moods: female heart, comic sci-fi, dripping “GoodStrange” graffiti canvas work.

Here’s a look at the unboxing.

Here’s a celebration of each cover in video form. It celebrates themes (black holes, human desire), subverting the idea that only comic books can have variant covers. It’s a fangirl homemade MTV video to Muse’s Supermassive Blackhole and the old peep shows of Times Square. Enjoy the book chair dance. This is comic book realism.
