James Sturm pens this richly evocative graphic novel set in the 1920s. The Stars of David, a barnstorming Jewish baseball team, travel from town to town earning a living by playing local squads. They all sport beards, a gimmick to attract patrons but when financial difficulties threaten to end their season they cast their lot with a Chicago promoter who has just seen the hugely successful German silent film Der Golem...With the golem, a baseball game is transformed into a mythical pageant. Fear and curiosity fills the stadium, but it also stokes the flames of anti-Semitism. Winning the game for the Stars of David becomes less important then surviving it. With a sepia-tinted cinematic style, this compelling book reminds us that making it home is at the heart of baseball.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: James Sturm co-founded the Seattle alternative weekly, The Stranger, lectured on art at the only college where you can take a degree in comics, is active in the National Alliance of Comics Art Educators and recently published a defense of teaching comics in the Chronicle of Higher Education. And he just had a baby.
