Rutu Modan in Comica Conversation with Hannah Berry

Rutu Modan in Comica Conversation with Hannah BerryThe Comica Festival, in association with Foyles and Jonathan Cape, brings you the rare opportunity to hear Rutu Modan, the award-winning author of Exit Wounds, discussing her new book The Property – perhaps the most hotly anticipated “literary comic” of the summer.

Drawing on Rutu’s family roots, The Property tells the story of Regina Segal, an old woman who travels with her granddaughter Mica to Poland to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. Thrust into the unfamiliar surroundings of modern Warsaw, difficult memories begin to surface, and family skeletons emerge from their closets, in front of a cast of complex, absurd and nuanced characters – all finely and subtly drawn, in every sense.

Hannah Berry is also published by Jonathan Cape and her graphic novels Britten & Brülightly and Adamtine have been widely acclaimed.

Don’t miss this very special encounter between two of today’s most gifted international graphic storytellers.
