Savvy and insightful, elegant and subtle, Rutu Modan's second full-length graphic novel is a triumph of storytelling and fine lines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter the death of her son, Regina Segal takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw, hoping to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. As they get to know modern Warsaw, Regina is forced to recall difficult things about her past, and Mica begins to wonder if maybe their reasons for coming aren't a little different than what her grandmother led her to believe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eModan offers up a world populated by prickly seniors, smart-alecky public servants, and stubborn women-a world whose realism is expressed alternately in the absurdity of people's behavior and in the complex consequences of their sacrifices. Modan's ever-present wit is articulated perfectly in her clear-line style, while a subtle, almost muted color palette complements the true-to-life nuances of her characterization. \u003ci\u003eExit Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e made a huge splash for this signature combination of wit, style, and realism, and \u003ci\u003eThe Property \u003c\/i\u003ewill cement Modan's status as one of the foremost cartoonists working today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRutu Modan\u003c\/b\u003e is an Illustrator, comics artist, and associate professor at the Bezalel Academy of Art \u0026amp; Design in Jerusalem.
