Description - Voices In The Dark by John Brownjohn
The second graphic novel by Ulli Lust to be published in English, Voices in the Dark adapts Marcel Beyer's novel, translated as The Karnau Tapes, into a tour-de-force vision of Nazi Germany through the eyes of a child. This will appeal to serious fans of graphic novels as well as readers of historical fiction.
Germany, in the final years of the Third Reich. Hermann Karnau is a sound engineer obsessed with recording the human voice in all its variations-the rantings of leaders, the roar of crowds, the rasp of throats constricted in fear-and indifferent to everything else. Employed by the Nazis, his assignments take him to Party rallies, to the Eastern Front, and into the household of Joseph Goebbels. There he meets Helga, the eldest daughter- bright, good-natured, and just beginning to suspect the horror that surrounds her...
Based on an acclaimed novel by Marcel Beyer, Voices in the Dark is the first fictional graphic novel by Ulli Lust, whose award-winning graphic memoir Today Is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life appeared in English in 2013. It is the story of an unlikely friendship and of a childhood betrayed, a grim parable of naivete and evil, and a vivid, unsettling masterpiece.
This NYRC edition is a trade paperback and features full color throughout and new English hand-lettering.
