Kate Beaton receives the 2024 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature
Kate Beaton received the 2024 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature in recognition of her graphic memoir Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands. Beaton will receive 50,000 Swiss Francs and a work of art specially chosen for her.
"It is so fitting to see Kate Beaton's Ducks recognized by this visionary prize open to literature of all genres the world over because her cartooning in this memoir shows what the comics medium is capable of. Ducks could never have been anything other than a comic. And while the details of her story are Canadian, the book speaks to issues that people the world over are grappling with – the toll of economic migration and the destruction produced by extractive industries." —Peggy Burns, D&Q Publisher
