SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Berlin by Jason Lutes
DESCRIPTION:Each month we host a Graphic Novel Book Club\, open to all\, during which we hang out and informally discuss a featured graphic novel. Our pick for November is BERLIN by Jason Lutes\, hosting the club will be Drawn & Quarterly Publisher Peggy Burns. \nTWENTY YEARS IN THE MAKING\, THIS SWEEPING MASTERPIECE CHARTS BERLIN THROUGH THE RISE OF NAZISM. \nWe will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard Ouest) on Wednesday\, November 6th at 7 p.m. Join us for refreshments and collective insights! \nABOUT:\nDuring the past two decades\, Jason Lutes has quietly created one of the masterworks of the graphic novel golden age. Berlin is one of the high-water marks of the medium: rich in its well-researched historical detail\, compassionate in its character studies\, and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism. \nBerlin is an intricate look at the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of its citizens—Marthe Müller\, a young woman escaping the memory of a brother killed in World War I\, Kurt Severing\, an idealistic journalist losing faith in the printed word as fascism and extremism take hold; the Brauns\, a family torn apart by poverty and politics. Lutes weaves these characters’ lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart. \nThe city itself is the central protagonist in this historical fiction. Lavish salons\, crumbling sidewalks\, dusty attics\, and train stations: all these places come alive in Lutes’ masterful hand. Weimar Berlin was the world’s metropolis\, where intellectualism\, creativity\, and sensuous liberal values thrived\, and Lutes maps its tragic\, inevitable decline. Devastatingly relevant and beautifully told\, Berlin is one of the great epics of the comics medium. \n***We are offering a 20% discount on BERLIN from now until the meeting date!***
