I loved the darkly humorous film and hadn't realised it was based on a graphic novel until I saw this in the library. Only a few pages in, but it's just as awfully comedic.
Even though it's a fictionalised account rather than historically rigorous, it's rather gut-churning that the atmosphere of death and fear under Stalin's regime is all to real.
#LibraryHaul Brought home a stack of graphic novels from the library. Quick reads, they're the snacks I probably shouldn't eat between meals if I want to finish my tea 😏
so-so'The Death of Stalin' graphic novel is a good companion to the Iannucci satire and worth a quick read.
pickI will call this a low Pick, although I think the movie was better; there aren't many women in the story but the movie shows more of them.
#CanadaDayReadathon book 1
First up in my #CanadaDayReadathon: The Death of Stalin. Have to remember that the drawings will probably look more like the actual people and not the actors from the movie 😂
After seeing the fantastically funny film adaptation last night I need some modern Russian lit. As I've already read The Master and Margarita this year I may have got a little carried away in the library...
Finally!
pickFast paced and good dialogue. Intense, but with a subject matter like this, of course it would be. 3.5/5
