JERUSALEM

Graphic Novel

Jerusalem is a portrait of a family and of the city they both inhabit and encompass within their waking dream of life.  A single portrait added to the immense gallery of portraits of a tiny, strategically and economically insignificant desert hamlet that has for two thousand years proven unparalleled in inspiring passions and dreams.  A stubborn little slab of reality that nevertheless shimmers like a mirage before the eyes of  both the mad and the sane, uniting them into a single brotherhood of dreamers, murderers and poets.  A landscape that gazed upon at sunset turns a shepherd, mason, seamstress or cobbler into a gate-keeper of eternity.

Most powerful for investing a massive and complex issue with real human emotion...

Helping to set the standard for the relatively young literary art form that we know as the graphic novel.
