Little Tulip

Description

A child descends into the hell of a Russian prison camp, where he develops into a skilled tattoo artist - a talent that wins protection, but at a heavy price. This transcendent graphic novel is the work of an award-winning French illustrator and Jerome Charyn, acclaimed by The New York Review of Books as "a fearless writer. Brave and brazen." Includes a new English translation by Charyn. Suggested for mature readers.

Called "a contemporary American Balzac" by New York Newsday, Jerome Charyn is the author of thirty novels, three memoirs, eight graphic novels, and other acclaimed works. Two of his memoirs were named New York Times Book of the Year, he has been a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, and he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in 1983. Charyn has also received the Rosenthal Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and has been named Commander of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) by the French Minister of Culture. French comic book artist Francois Boucq is best known for his surrealistic character Jerome Moucherot. He and Jerome Charyn collaborated on the cult favorite The Magician's Wife, and Boucq was awarded the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angouleme in 1998.
