For long minutes, there was considerable doubt as to whether the child would survive to bear a name at all. Although being born in a workhouse was not the most fortunate of circumstances, in this child‘s case the alternative would have made for a much different story; likely a very short one.

pickThis was a fun retelling of Oliver Twist. It was interesting to see a continuation of the original story. I‘m usually not a fan of historical fiction novels, but this one was worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickWow! This is what happens when a successful comic artist acknowledges the harm of type characters. He examines the roles of social circumstances and antisemitism in the untold story of Fagin before Oliver Twist. I greatly enjoyed this, and the afterward examining the role works of fiction often play in perpetuating bias is amazing. Eisner even aknowledges his own harmful character types and what he's learned since. #Bias #Jewish #ClassicLiterature

pickThis is a retelling of Oliver Twist, and in the interest of full disclosure, I‘ve never actually read Oliver Twist, but I know the gist. This book was so enjoyable! Olivia is a great MC, spunky with a heart of gold. It‘s well-paced with adventure and romance, but not too much romance!

pickLet Eisner‘s words review the book:
“I began to produce graphic novels with themes of Jewish ethnicity and the prejudice Jews still face. (…) Upon examining the illustrations of the original editions of ‘Oliver Twist‘, I found an unquestionable example of visual defamation in classic literature. The memory of their awful use by the Nazis in World War II, one hundred years later, added evidence to the persistence of evil stereotyping.” (Eisner)
