Art in a State of SiegeWhat do artworks look like in extreme cases of collective experience? What signals do artists send when enemies are at the city walls and the rule of law breaks down, or when a tyrant suspends the law to attack from inside? Art in a State of Siege tells the story of three compelling images created in dangerous moments and the people who experienced themfrom Philip II of Spain to Carl Schmittwhose panicked gaze turned artworks into omens. Acclaimed art

“If you likedWhere the Crawdads Sing

She's never needed saving before

but Bouba is a down on his luck deux fois

Well-known poets Bruce Lansky

and the line between past and present begins to blur

But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group

But this is merely the backdrop to Jean-Patrick Manchette’s first-person portrait (with shades of Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me) of a man who lacks the insight to see himself for what he is: a wannabe nihilist too weak to be even a full-bore fascist

Until only one of us remains

the only thing more terrifying than a serious horror novel is an absurd one

and an absolute delight for storytime

these graphic novels combine historical facts with high-action storytelling that's sure to keep any reader turning the pages
