RaveThe New YorkerThe Berlin-based cartoonist Olivier Schrauwen’s new book...is a dazzling and disorienting collection ... Schrauwen artfully weaves himself into and out of the narratives ... These matter-of-fact retellings require a suspension of disbelief, which is made easier by the author’s earnest, guileless voice ... The crude black-and-white style of the first story belies what blossoms by the last—a neon-colored future that is robust, puzzling, and convincing ... Details hint at the idea that the book itself is an artifact, either from or for the future, and there’s a suggestion of contact with another dimension. By the final page, it’s the reader who has been abducted, by the cartoonist, captivated by witnessing time and space made malleable in Schrauwen’s hands.
