1001 COMICS MINI-SITE

Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

Dance By The Light Of The Moon

by Judith Vanistendael

Original publisher: Oog & Blik (Netherlands)
First published: 2007
Reviewed by: Huib van Opstal
Genre: Autobiographical, Drama

Synopsis:

A moving love story inspired by the author’s relationship with a political refugee from Togo. It began as a response to the publication of a short story, Message From The Fortress, written by the author’s father, Geert Vanistendael. In it, her father gives vent to his feelings about the relationship. At first angry with her father, the author publicly responded by reclaiming the story in this semi-autobiographical novel. Dance By The Light Of The Moon is a beautiful, unexpected tale which reaches far beyond the love story that originally inspired it.
