Description: Earthling by Aisha Franz A finely woven account of aliens and alientation in the suburbs. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description German cartoonist Aisha Franzs debut graphic novel de--tails a few short days in the life of two sisters and their single mother. Set in a soulless suburb populated by block after block of identical row houses bordered by empty fields and an industrial no-mans land, Earthling explores the loneliness of everyday life through these womens struggle to come to terms with what the world expects of them. Earthling unveils a narrative rich with surrealist twists and turns, where the peas on the dinner plate and the ads on television can both literally and figuratively speak to the most private strife and deepest hopes in a persons life. As the sisters begin to come to terms with their sexuality, they are confronted by harsh realities and a world that has few escape routes for young women. Drawn in deep grey pencil, the claustrophobia of Franzs crosshatching and smudging matches the tone of the book perfectly. Earthling is an atmospheric and haunting account of the inevitability of losing the dream worlds of childhood.

Review From her pencil drawings to her naive yet dry illustrations, each image shes whisked out of her brain is so funny and sweet at the same time its enough to make you have a little cry.- Its Nice That Review Quote This is a quiet book, but one with a lot to say . . . It warrants deep and repeated readings.
