Loading... The Left Bank Gangby Jason
None. What if Ernest Hemmingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ezra Pound conspired to rob a boxing match while struggling to make a living as writers in Paris? (  ) kivarson | Nov 23, 2010 | 
 The Norwegian artist Jason (a.k.a. John Arne Sæterøy) draws dogs, cats, crows, and the occasional rabbit. They’re all anthropomorphic humanoids who sleep in beds and cook food, but they don’t emote and, in most of his books, they don’t speak. They observe their humdrum surroundings with a detachment bordering on existentialism, Buddhism, and pure malaise, making casual remarks like “I’m bored. Paris bores me. You bore me. Your friends bore me.” It’s a drab, plain-Jane world, but somehow, book after book, Jason manages to keep things exciting.
No descriptions found. A graphic novel that imagines Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce--drawn as dogs and birds--as cartoonists in 1920s Paris, where they decide to rob a bank at Hemingway's suggestion. |
