First, the conversations I had with people about the book shaped how I thought of it - I was fascinated that, even though A changes all aspects of their identity each day, mostly people wanted to talk about A's gender, and for many teens this was an introduction to the notion of a non-binary identity. Has your relationship with the book changed over the last decade?ĭavid Levithan: It absolutely has. Popverse: David, the Every Day novel was published over ten years ago now. In this interview, the creators speak to the intricacies of adapting Levithan's original novel to graphic novel format, what it was like to showcase interiority on the comic page, and possible future adaptations of other stories in the Every Day series. In anticipation of the book's publication on May 2nd, we took some time to ask David Levithan and artist Dion MBD about the project.
The novel recieved a film adaptation in 2018, and now, a new graphic novel adaptation. Every Day follows a protagonist named A, a genderless person who wakes up in a different body every day and how their life of detachment changes when they fall in love. David Levithan's acclaimed YA novel Every Day made a big splash when it came out in 2012.
