Riassunto

The Booker Prize-winning author of The Handmaid’s Tale writes her first graphic novel, a cat-centric all-ages New York Times bestselling adventure.

On a dark night, young genetic engineer Strig Feleedus is accidentally mutated by his own experiment and merges with the DNA of a cat and an owl. What follows is a humorous, action-driven, pulp-inspired superhero adventure-- with a lot of cat puns.

Lauded novelist Margaret Atwood and acclaimed artist Johnnie Christmas collaborate on one of the most highly anticipated comic book and literary events of the year!

Published in over thirty-five countries, Margaret Atwood is one of the most important living writers of our day and is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. Her work has won the Man Booker Prize, the Giller Prize, Premio Mondello, and more. Angel Catbird is her first graphic novel series.

Atwood's The Blind Assassin was named one of Time magazine's 100 best English-language novels published since 1923 and her recent MaddAddam Trilogy is currently being adapted into an HBO television show by Darren Aronofsky

Recensione:

"That sounds like an awful lot to pack in, but Atwood's breathless love for both the form and subject matter, combined with expressive art by fellow Canadian Johnnie Christmas (who beautifully captures Strig's evolving feline body language), make Angel Catbird a rather jolly adventure." --The Guardian

"September is turning out to be a terrific month for great contemporary writers making their comics debut." --GQ

Praise for Margaret Atwood
"Margaret Atwood takes risks and wins." --Time

"Atwood is a poet." -- The New Yorker

"Atwood's prose miraculously balances humor, outrage and beauty. A simple description becomes both chilling and sublime." --The New York Times
