{"product_id":"arsne-schrauwen-9798875000928","title":"Ars?ne Schrauwen","description":"In 1947, the author's grandfather, Ars?ne Schrauwen, traveled across the ocean to a mysterious, dangerous jungle colony at the behest of his cousin. Together they would build something deemed impossible: a modern utopia in the wilderness -- but not before Ars?ne falls in love with his cousin's wife, Marieke. Whether delirious from love or a fever-inducing jungle virus, Ars?ne's loosening grip on reality is mirrored by the graphic novel reader's uncertainty of what is imagined or real by Ars?ne. This first full-length graphic novel from the critically acclaimed Olivier Schrauwen is an engrossing, sometimes funny, slightly surreal and often beautiful narrative. \u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 2014, \u003cem\u003eArs?ne Schrauwen\u003c\/em\u003e heralded the then largely-unknown-to-English readers Olivier Schrauwen as a major voice in international comics -- a reputation that has only gained momentum over the ensuing decade with releases like 2024's \u003cem\u003eSunday\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchrauwen, Olivier:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eOlivier Schrauwen\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Belgium in 1977 and studied animation at the Academy of Art in Gent, and comics at ESA Saint-Luc in Brussels.
