Description

A collection of searing shorts from Israel's finest graphic novelist Rutu Modan's Exit Wounds was chosen by The Times as one of the three best graphic novels of 2007. It won the 2008 Eisner Award for the Best New Graphic Novel and was nominated for the Angoulame Best Comic Book Prize. Jamilti and Other Stories collects Modan's early short works- stories that range from darkly fantastical and unsettling to surprising discoveries that shape personal identity. And, as in Exit Wounds, she addresses political violence affecting everyday lives.

Reviews

Praise for Rutu Modan: The real glory of "Exit Wounds "is Modans artwork. Her characters body language and facial expressions, rendered in the gestural clear line style of Hergs Tintin books, are so precisely observed, they practically tell the story by themselves. "The New York Times Book Review "Modans spare, affecting lines and charged dialogue add up to a tragicomic take on family and identity . . . Grade A "The Washington Post"
