Description
With a mindful selection of short stories by renowned author Franz Kafka, Li’s new book features 10 stories in his iconic comics style, including Vulture — I can never win it over, Passers — talking to strangers, Trees — reality vs illusion, Road — find your own way, Wolves — we are all wolves, Shy —Awww…, Rain — again and again, Love — I am surrounded by lances and sharp knives, War — war! war! war!, and Power — who owns it, who is the boss.
Movies, TV series, and plays were commonly adapted from Kafka’s literary works, whereas Li interprets Kafka’s works in a different way with his simple and delicate black and white line drawings. A mysterious world that is as blurred as grey, ambiguous, and powerless. Drawing Kafka’s literature has always been one of Li’s wishes, he has devoted himself to this book since 10 years ago. The new comic book is designed in pocket size, one panel on one page, and deepened the story page by page. In coincidence with the collaboration of Hong Kong Arts Centre and Moleskine, Li was invited to design a limited edition Moleskine notebook with his unique drawings on cover, paper band and postcard in the theme of ‘Kafka’.
