Michael Lorah conducts a fascinating in-depth interview with Rutu Modan about her May D+Q original graphic novel Exit Wounds on Newsarama. Lorah states: "Tackling the harsh realities of senseless death and familial destruction, Modan's Exit Wounds promises to give readers a more personal insight into the state of modern Israel than is found on most evening newscasts."
Publishers Weekly has already given the book a "starred" review, proclaiming Exit Wounds to be one of the major graphic novels of 2007.
Joe Sacco states: "Exit Wounds is a profound, richly textured, humane, and
unsentimental look at societal malaise and human relationships and that uneasy place where they sometimes intersect."
D+Q sold UK rights to Jonathan Cape pre-publication, their edition should be out this May too. Other European editions are planned.
A preview is here.
