Rutu Modan in Comica Conversation with Hannah Berry

Event information

Rutu Modan's The Property, the first full-length graphic novel from the award-winning author of Exit Wounds, is this summer's most exciting event in literary comics. Comica Festival in association with Foyles Bookshop and Jonathan Cape brings you the rare opportunity to hear Rutu Modan in her exclusive speaking engagement in London, in a lively Comica Conversation with Hannah Berry.
Tapping into Rutu's family roots, The Property deals with a prickly grandmother's return to Poland to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. Her granddaughter Mica joins her and gradually uncovers other motives and family secrets, as well as falling for a local tourist guide and comics artist. Witty, stylish, romantic and subtle, Modan's latest book is a triumph of storytelling, fine lines and exquisite colours in a 220-page hardback.
Hannah Berry is also published by Jonathan Cape and her graphic novels Britten & Brülightly and Adamtine have been widely acclaimed.
Don't miss this very special encounter between two of today's most gifted international graphic storytellers.
