Cult classics go graphic novel: Veiko Tammjärv has adapted two classic novels into comic format with »The Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel« and »November«. Using a limited color palette and sharp visual language, he depicts Soviet repression, encounters with aliens, thieving barons, and a pact with the devil – grotesque, absurd, and funny. Word and image are finely coordinated – »[this] makes the book a small graphic
masterpiece.« [NDR]
With Veiko Tammjärv
Moderated by Lilian Pithan
The event will be held in English.
»The Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel« & »November« were translated from Estonian into German by Maximilian Murmann.
