Witchland Tim Mulligan

  Recently, I had a discussion with a reader who is less than half my age and he stated he does not enjoy much of modern-day literature as he feels the language expressed in older works was superior.  We continued our discussion when I asked why he felt this way.  He responded that when reading he feels the need to be able to visualize what is occurring and he felt in older works it was more descriptive so he was better able to flesh out the characters. He informed me fo r thought-provoking complexity, he often turns to graphic novels. With the mention of this, I thought of a graphic novel I was recently gifted titled Witchland which is the book adaptation of the play WITCHLAND - based on author Tim Mulligan's experiences growing up in Richland Washington. This graphic novel  supports the  LGBTQ+  community  and it followed a  docudrama  I 'd recently watched titled  Einstein and the Bomb, Hanford and the c ommunities of Richland, West Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick are known as the Tri-Cities region in southeastern Washington. The Hanford site was established as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project where reactors transformed uranium into plutonium and more powerful nuclear fuel.  Witchland  story is  an exploration of a town shrouded in mystery. This novel  shows readers that many people view challenges as opportunities The story also  provides an understanding of   what it means to have a strong support system and of  how perception impacts reactions.  I received this Graphic novel from Tim Mulligan. Witchland the play is appearing in Palm Springs in February 2024  at Revolution Stage Company. It is then moving to New York in April 2024 at Manhattan Repertory Theatre Company.
