Tales of the Wild East by Joann Sfar

4.0

I like to thank my library. Without them I would have never stumbled onto this.

The art work reminds me of Yoshihiro Togashi after he started having serious health issues.

The brevity is refreshing.

It’s always a good start having your characters down in the lowest of gutters.

It was very easy to find myself immersed and losing track of time reading this.

The way the people lie to each other, the hesitation, the wariness, it’s all very engrossing. And they’re are all on the worst day of their lives, which helps.

The three archetypes are cute, and you only realize they’re archetypes after finishing and enjoying the story. Pathos, Logos, Ethos.

I like the cultural exchanges that happen between Yaacov and Tshokola.

Of course it’s also interesting when the second story meets the first story in a bar and merge.

And it ends on an unforeseeable cliff hanger!
