Come Un Cane

This retrofuturistic graphic novel recalls expressionist silent films, the classic science fiction Blade Runner, or Batman's Gotham City. Inspired by Franz Kafka's story The Hunger Artist, this graphic novel offers a powerful and visceral interpretation of Kafkaesque themes. The work blends the immediacy of comics with Kafka's existential reflections, offering an original and profound perspective on the human condition, alienation, and the search for meaning. 'Like a dog' are the last words spoken by the protagonist of Kafka's novel The Trial, Josef K., facing his death sentence. A reflection on the inevitability of his fate and the total abandonment by justice. Like hallucinations, parallel stories abruptly intertwine within the pages. Žeželj provides a visually stunning black and white background to this wild mix of texts.
