Set in Berlin, this graphic novel charts the twilight of Berlin's "roaring" twenties, as the country pivots itself towards a right-wing path, which eventually leads to a war. The style is beautiful: sparsely drawn, but with plenty of detail. The atmosphere of interwar Berlin and the confusion and uncertainty felt by many is wonderfully depicted. The characters were well-developed and artfully created on the page. This was an intensely rewarding read.
Also, any book which uses The Second Coming by Yeats for one of its double-page spreads is alright in my eyes.
