Brompton Library Graphic Novel Reading Group

Hello and welcome to the Brompton Library Graphic Novel Reading Group mailing list!

For next session, note new regular time MONDAY 6th November (6:30pm), we will be discussing the brilliant kooky genius that is KAFKA by Robert Crumb & David Zane Mairowitz:

“Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy tainted with hilarity and self-abasement. What he added to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness. Here, Mairowitz's brilliant text and the illustrations and comic panels of the world's greatest cartoonist, Robert Crumb, help readers understand the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche |Kafkaesque|, peering through Kafka's glass wall like no other book before. Must-have for admirers of Kafka and Crumb alike.”

Once you have read it, please return asap for other potential members.
