On this episode of "Behind Diagnoses: Patients", a Peer Med Podcast special series we hear from Sarah Lippett, a UK based artist and author. Her first graphic novel, Stan and Nan, won the Quentin Blake Prize for Best Narrative at the Royal College of Art and was published in 2016 by Jonathan Cape, becoming a Guardian bestseller and 2016 Book of the Year.  Her latest autobiographical work, A Puff of Smoke was published by Jonathan Cape in November 2019 and was supported by an Arts Council England Literary grant. The memoir became an Observer graphic novel of the month, a Guardian graphic novel of 2019, and received accolades from the Herald, It’s Nice That and Eye On Design.  Alongside her long form works, Lippett has also created socio-political reportage comics focused on the stories of diverse communities in locations across the UK and abroad. She lectures in Illustration at the University of Edinburgh, and delivers talks on her practice to a variety of audiences both in the UK and internationally.
