Peter Bagge Hate Revisited Paperback Book

In 1947, the authors grandfather, Arsene Schrauwen, travelled across the ocean to a mysterious, dangerous jungle colony at the behest of his cousin. Together they would build something deemed impossible a modern utopia in the wilderness but not before Arsene falls in love with his cousins wife, Marieke. Whether delirious from love or a feverinducing jungle virus, Arsenes loosening grip on reality is mirrored by the graphic novel readers uncertainty of what is imagined or real by Arsene. This first fulllength graphic novel from the critically acclaimed Olivier Schrauwen is an engrossing, sometimes funny, slightly surreal and often beautiful narrative. Originally released in 2014, Arsene Schrauwen heralded the then largelyunknowntoEnglish readers Olivier Schrauwen as a major voice in international comics a reputation that has onBuddy Bradley and Lisa Leavenworth, now middle aged with a freespirited young adult of their own, confront their own poor decisions as young people in the grungy 1990s.
