Written by Katrin De Vries. Art and cover by Anne Feuchtenberger. Translated by Mark Nevins. Interview Conducted by Madeleine Sxhwartz.
Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the West German-born Katrin de Vries read a magazine featuring the drawings of the East German-born Anke Feuchtenberger. De Vries wrote to ask Feuchtenberger if she might want to collaborate, and together, they've produced some of the most striking German comics of the last thirty years, most notably W the Whore.
Collected here in English for the first time, W the Whore presents the shared vision of de Vries and Feuchtenberger at its most ambitious.
The titular heroine W the Whore, drawn in a shifting guise by Feuchtenberger, navigates the tedious rituals of womanhood, the unsettling mysteries of male desire, and the strangeness of motherhood, all while moving through a familiar but hostile everyday landscape of houses, factories, rail yards, and other ominous structures.
