Reviews
A dazzling and disorienting collection of short stories detailing the author's interactions with the future. ... By the final page, it's the reader who has been abducted, by the cartoonist, captivated by witnessing time and space made malleable in Schrauwen's hands.
Schrauwen returns with another heady and inventive collection tales... This sophisticated, inventive story cycle never fails to entertain, and strikes plenty of cerebral sparks.
Schrauwen tackles the basic building blocks of comics, science fiction, and our cultural sexual norms for insightfully entertaining results.
A potent volume of linked and mangled autofictions, with delirious color chords you only find in dreams.
Schrauwen is one of the most provocative creators in the world of comics today, so it's not surprising that he would produce such a multidimensional work.
This collection of six short stories is sharp, witty, beautifully drawn and a searing satire on the modern condition.
