Ethan Hawke to Discuss Graphic Novel in Naperville

Oscar-nominated writer and actor Ethan Hawke will be coming to Naperville to promote his new graphic novel “Indeh.”

His book, co-written with Greg Ruth, will be discussed at 5:30 p.m. June 11 at Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., on the campus of North Central College. Tickets are required and available exclusively at EthanandGregAndersons.brownpapertickets.com.

“Indeh” takes place in 1872 in the Apache nations, a region that’s been torn apart by decades of war. Goyahkla has lost his family and everything he loves. After having a vision, the young Goyahkla approaches the Apache leader Cochise, and the entire Apache nation, to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe. It is this wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyakhla into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the war wages on. As they battle their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling on to their land and culture, they would utter, "Indeh," or "the dead." When it looks like lasting peace has been reached, it seems like the war is over. Or is it?
