A Contract with God
Author(s): Will Eisner
A revolutionary novel, "A Contract With God" re-creates the neighbourhood of Will Eisner's youth through a quartet of interwoven stories. Called "a masterpiece" by R. Crumb, "A Life Force" chronicles not only the Great Depression but also the rise of Nazism and the spread of socialist politics. In "Dropsie Avenue", Eisner traces the social trajectory of this mythic avenue over four centuries, creating an unending "story of life, death, and resurrection".
