Utopia comes with a price in this new 10th anniversary paperback edition of the acclaimed comedic graphic novel inspired by the author\'s mid-century colonialist grandfather. 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. Originally released in 2014, Ars�ne Schrauwen 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 Sunday.
