An absurdist, psychedelic crime fantasy / graphic novella from an acclaimed artist and printmaker.
The Astounding Magnus has been hypnotizing audiences at the Feedbag cocktail bar with his resplendent dancing dog act, Salome, and her Serpentine Dance of the Seven Veils. Yet despite his success, the pearl of life has lost its luster for Magnus. He visits the psychologist, Dr. Silkini, who promises to massage Magnuss id into a higher dimension: the pearly gates of full life satisfaction. Meanwhile, Salomes crowd-pleasing performances have attracted unwanted attention from sinister forces who want to know the dogs secret.
Daria Tesslers new graphic novella, Salomes Last Dance, showcases her phenomenal talent for incorporating elements of collage and pen-and-ink illustration to create a beautifully phantasmagoric experience under the guise of an absurdist, psychedelic fantasy (including an extended visual tour de force depicting a hallucinogenic tea trip), one that favorably compares to Yellow Submarine or the comics of Jim Woodring. Tesslers rich ear for language and sharp sense of humor also liven every inventively stunning page of Salomes Last Dance.
