Enchanted Lion Books Mulysses
Book SynopsisAn astonishing, high-adventure graphic novel that playfully remixes The Odyssey, Moby Dick, and more, from Norway’s greatest cartoonist.Fresh out of a job, with his apartment slated for demolition and his possessions seized, Mulysses is in need of $5,000—and fast! As luck would have it, he crosses paths just in time with a wealthy collector, who offers him the fortune he seeks if he succeeds in bringing back the world’s biggest eye, fabled to grant its owner enormous power. Like Ulysses, Ishmael, and many others before him, Mulysses takes to the sea in search of both adventure and himself. In addition to his high comedic, cartoonist talents, Øyvind Torseter is one of Norway’s most acclaimed illustrators. This is his seventh book with Enchanted Lion.Trade Review“Mulysses plays on the deadpan humor of Moby-Dick and the Cyclops section of the Odyssey… [The] hero-narrator, a cute mule-like chap who also appears in Torseter’s The Heartless Troll and The Hole, reminds me of Tove Jansson’s Moomintroll… All this is accomplished with minimalist, scratchy lines, rare patches of color, amusing characters and few words. I can picture an adult reading it with a child and both being happy. Mulysses is an engaging little mash-up that is, thankfully, no mess at all.” —New York Times"Seemingly inconsequential objects introduced early, including a lost locket, a synthetic sweater, and a missing whale eye, slot tidily into place later, providing Chekhovian satisfaction. Via artwork featuring Jules Feiffer–like caricature and fanciful, indigo-washed ocean depths, Torseter blends subverted Odyssean tropes with the narrator’s comic resignation to present a simultaneously quirky and gentle caper." —Publishers Weekly"Torseter’s illustrations feature a combination of large, full-page color panels and spreads with smaller panels in black and white, expertly using color to communicate the shifting feelings of the characters. A spread of a whale is particularly striking, evoking Japanese wave woodblock prints. Though the book broadly references works like The Odyssey and Moby Dick, prior knowledge isn’t necessary to enjoy the story... A solid purchase, especially for collections where seafaring adventures are popular.” —School Library Journal“A free-wheeling nautical adventure… Visually appealing.” —Kirkus Reviews
