| Synopsis: |
In a world in which books are under assault and have to compete with their digital counterparts, this book is a perfect example of what a book is at its best qua book. Here again, paper, texture and color are all lovely and worth investing in. Not just lovely, this book has a layered and provocative story that will prompt discussion and debate. If one takes the time to linger on these pages and look, there is a great comic sensibility at work here, one that has a point of view in a world of shrill opinion, broad humor, the rejection of nuance. In a contemporary world in which constant war seems to have become the norm, this story comes with a cause and a hope, in addition to a point of view. |
