There are more words in the publisher description than the whole book

Baboon! by Pau

April 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Comment one: There are more words in the publisher description, or this review, then there are in the entire book of Baboon! by Pau/Pablo Marcos, as it is a wordless graphic novel. Comment two: I cannot say it better so word for word the publisher’s description: “After the death of its adopted leopard mother, an orphaned baboon wanders the wild in search of companionship and a sense of identity. Stumbling upon the troop of baboons from which it was originally stolen, the baboon falls in […]

Letters to a Prisoner by Jacques Goldstyn

March 27, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I appreciate the message (Amenity International Write for Rights campaign is a worthy cause) but the way it was presented, without a single piece of story text (although there is some text when letters are finally […]
