Critics Review
“Framed by moving, thoughtful text, Sfar’s beautifully detailed ‘little drawings’ convey heartbreak.” –Kirkus, starred review
”[A] perfect blend of autobiography and graphic journalism.” –Booklist, starred review
Praise for The Rabbi’s Cat:
“It is, altogether, utterly charming. [Sfar’s] portrayal of a society in which Jews and Muslims were friends and comrades speaks volumes to our times.” –Booklist, starred review
“An affecting, fraught, and–yes–sometimes hilarious tour de force about the complexities of living faithfully in a godless world.” –The Boston Globe
“Rich with the col-ors, tex-tures, and fla-vors of Algeria’s Jew-ish com-mu-ni-ty, The Rabbi’s Cat brings a lost world vibrant-ly to life–a time and place where Jews and Arabs coex-ist-ed–and peo-ples it with endear-ing and thorough-ly human char-ac-ters, and one tru-ly unfor-get-table cat.” –Jewish Book Council
Joann Sfar
Joann Sfar is a force of nature. Having produced over 100 books since the early 1990s, he continually enchants, disturbs, and delights his readers with his unique rambling brand of storytelling. He happily blends memoir with fantasy and philosophical musing with outrageous inventiveness. The result is a personal universe that readers around the world visit and revisit in growing numbers.
His works include Vampire Loves, Klezmer, The Professor’s Daughter (in collaboration with Emmanuel Guibert), the Sardine in Outer Space and Little Vampire series, and the Eisner Award-winning The Rabbi’s Cat. He lives in Paris with his wife, two children, and cat.
