Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Biography TPB

Available for the first time in paperback. Chester Brown reinvents the comic book medium to create the critically acclaimed best-selling historical biography Louis Riel winning the Harvey Awards for best writing and best graphic novel for his compelling meticulous and dispassionate retelling of the charismatic and perhaps insane nineteenth-century Métis leader. Brown cooly documents with dramatic subtlety the violent rebellion on the Canadian prairie led by Riel who some regard a martyr who died in the name freedom while others consider him a treacherous murderer.

Chicken With Plums HC

From the acclaimed author of the best-selling Persepolis books, here is Marjane Satrapi's most accomplished and emotionally powerful work yet - the story of her great-uncle, a celebrated Iranian musician who gave up his life for music and love. We are in Tehran in 1958, and Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most revered tar players, discovers his beloved instrument to be irreparably damaged. Though he tries, he cannot find one good enough to replace it. Brokenhearted, he takes to bed, renouncing the world and its pleasures. Over the course of the week that follows, as his loved ones gather at his bedside, we are treated to flashbacks and flashforwards that reveal Nasser Ali's entire life and beyond-from his own childhood through his children's futures. And as the pieces of his story slowly fall into place, we begin to understand the breadth of his decision to give up life.
