Departures sat down with Afropunk co-founder James Spooner to discuss his debut graphic memoir, THE HIGH DESERT. Shirley Ngozi Nwangwa writes: “THE HIGH DESERT is a memoir for music lovers. Spooner brings readers along on the punk journey of his younger self, blazing lyrics across the pages; the larger the writing, the louder the volume.” Harper published the memoir on May 17, 2022.
