The legendary graphic novel and the sequels that launched an art form.
With graphic narrative that "was closer to the writing of Bernard Malamud or Isaac Bashevis Singer than any comic art which had preceded it" (The Economist), A Contract with God, originally published in 1978, was the first graphic novel: the prototype—along with A Life Force and Dropsie Avenue—for such seminal works as Maus and Persepolis. Set during the Great Depression, this literary trilogy, assembled in one volume for the first time, presents a treasure house of now near-mythic stories that fictionally illustrate the bittersweet tenement life of Eisner's youth. With nearly one dozen new illustrations and a revealing brand-new foreword, this book ultimately tells the epic story of life, death, and resurrection while exploring man's fractious relationship with an all-too-vengeful God. This mesmerizing, fictional chronicle of the universal American immigrant experience is Eisner's most poignant and enduring legacy.

一天讀完。the contract with god 算是紐約猶太街區眾生相,一個個小故事;A Life Force是最傳統的敘事結構,但是展現瞭大蕭條時代的俗世景,打悶棍的工會打手和那個一臉斯大林相,讓婦女抱著小孩占最前麵的紅菜湯圓;Dropsie Avenue 最厲害,用一個街區的變遷故事來串講紐約曆史和移民史,幾乎是圖畫版的《美國大城市死與生 》,蕩氣迴腸,最後結尾是一群人又開始搬傢,妙。
評分第一個作品,與上帝的契約,充滿隱喻,不知道怎麼解讀。覺得很震撼內心。卻沒辦法理解。於是不斷琢磨……
