Great first look,

This review is from: Jetlag (Paperback)
Five short stories by author Etgar Keret are adapted into graphic novellas in Jetlag, by the five-member Israeli comics collective known as Actus Tragicus. What's most impressive about this beautiful full-color collection of comics is its eerie, bizzare tone, which unites all five tales despite radical shifts in drawing and storytelling style. I especially liked Yirmi Pinkus' bittersweet "Margolis", about a small boy and his beloved piggy bank, and Mira Friedmann's oddly sinister "Passage to Hell". The three remaining entries, by Itzik Rennert, Rutu Modan, and Batia Kolton, are also very entertaining. This is my first introduction to the work of this wildly talented group, and I look forward to seeing more.

Keret writes gems,
By A O Cazola (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jetlag (Paperback)
Etgar Keret is one of the most inspiringly fresh new voices in fiction today. His short stories are perfect capsules of prose.In Jetlag 5, he combines his storyteller's charm with the colourful genius of some of Israels best comic artists. The unique take that each artist brings to Keret's stories create an atmosphere of experimentation and intelligence. Jetlag 5 ranks as one of the best graphic novels to appear on the literary scene. |
