Inhaltsangabe

In 1947, the author’s grandfather, Arsene Schrauwen, traveled across the ocean to a mysterious, dangerous jungle colony at the behest of his cousin. Together they would build something deemed impossible: a modern utopia in the wilderness — but not before Arsene falls in love with his cousin’s wife, Marieke. Whether delirious from love or a fever-inducing jungle virus, Arsene’s loosening grip on reality is mirrored by the graphic novel reader’s uncertainty of what is imagined or real by Arsene.

THE DEBUT GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE ACCLAIMED CARTOONIST

In 1947, the author’s grandfather, Arsene, traveled across the ocean to a mysterious, dangerous jungle colony at the behest of his cousin. Together they would build something deemed impossible: a utopia of modernity, in the wilderness ― but not before Arsene falls in love with his cousin’s wife, Marieke. Whether delirious from love or a fever-inducing jungle virus, Arsene’s loosening grip on reality is mirrored by the reader’s uncertainty of what is imagined or real by Arsene. This first full-length graphic novel from European favorite Olivier Schrauwen manages to fold many of the artist’s previously displayed obsessions in his short stories ― culture clash, lowbrow humor, colonialism, and early-20th-century continental European life ― into a single engrossing, often beautiful narrative.

OLIVIER “OLLIE” SCHRAUWEN lives in Berlin.
