&ldquo;[A] stunning, haunting work of art. . . .&#160;The comedy of the Diary&mdash;one of the book&rsquo;s most charming and often overlooked aspects&mdash;shines in this form. . . .&#160;There are so many wonderful juxtapositions of text and imagery that it feels cruel to focus on only a few, but another consistent standout is the way the graphic novel conveys Anne&rsquo;s fantasies and emotions&mdash;so crucial to the&#160;Diary. . . .&#160; This graphic adaptation is so engaging and effective that it&rsquo;s easy to imagine it replacing the Diary&#160;in classrooms and among younger readers.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Mr. Folman&rsquo;s has succeeded in capturing the humor and vitality of the diaries&mdash;the hilarious sarcasm, the passionate declarations, the contemplative self-reproach&mdash;without a trace of retrofitted sentimentality.&#160;He owes much to David Polonsky&rsquo;s sublime illustrations. Every one of Anne&rsquo;s flights of fancy finds a thrilling and ingenious visual representation. . . . A wonderful, full-page composite image of Anne in her many moods&mdash;dreamy, snarky, silly, pensive, outraged or lovesick&mdash;is a reminder that the diaries are less about a life&rsquo;s senseless destruction than about a brilliant young woman eternally coming into being.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;Anne Frank&rsquo;s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation&#160;is a masterpiece. Writer Ari Folman and illustrator David Polonsky have produced a vibrant, sensitive portrait of the icon who hid with her parents, sister and four others for two years in the annex of the building in Amsterdam that housed her father&rsquo;s business. Through text and images of seamless intelligence, Anne emerges as a wryly sophisticated, maturing young lady. . . .&#160;Folman expertly balances Anne&rsquo;s exterior and interior observations. While not minimizing her terrifying circumstances, he focuses more on her wisecracks than on her fears. . . .&#160;Polonsky&rsquo;s extraordinary imagination and draftsmanship propel Anne&rsquo;s revered diary. . . .&#160;This graphic novel is a valuable extension to all the literature that has emanated from Anne Frank&rsquo;s diary.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Hadassah Magazine&ldquo;In the handling that Folman and Polonsky give it, what happens is nothing short of a revelation . . . nothing has ever quite captured the strange, stubborn delicacy, the forlorn wistfulness, of the diary like this before . . . a genuine work of art.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Christian Science Monitor&ldquo;Anne Frank's immortal journal gets a new visual energy from David Polonsky's breathtaking artwork. The story is devastating as ever, with Anne's romantic yearnings, adolescent rebellion and razor-sharp wit still shining through.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Family Circle&ldquo;How does one breathe new life into a tale that is now so familiar that it risks losing its power to shock and instruct? Folman and Polonsky, the duo behind the film Waltz with Bashir, use the right tools to show us how it's done. Some may ask why Anne Frank's story needs a graphic adaptation, but the beauty of these pages provides the answer. It gives readers a strong visual idea of what Anne's secret annex behind a bookcase was like, where she struggled to make sense of her short and tragic life. Another panel shows a hypothetical wedding day that will break your heart all over again.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Lindsay Pereira, HuffPost&ldquo;Ari Folman, the Israeli director of Waltz with Bashir, takes the moving words of Anne Frank&rsquo;s The Diary of a Young Girl&#160;and, with his Bashir&#160;art director David Polonsky, creates an engaging, poignant coming-of-age journey. With its cartoon style, imaginative storytelling and teenage Anne&rsquo;s wide-eyed mood swings, this&#160;adaptation leans kid-friendly.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;USA Today&ldquo;I wanted to dislike&#160;Anne Frank&rsquo;s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation&#160;because books about Anne usually feel opportunistic or simplistic. But this comic-book version, authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation, is a monumental achievement. In large part that&rsquo;s because it wears its importance lightly. . . .&#160;[I]t captures Anne&rsquo;s teenage-ness: her love of drama, her rabid jealousy of her perfect sister, Margot, her appreciation of the physical comedy provided by the tacky van Daan adults. She feels like a real person, not a symbol. And there&rsquo;s so much humor in these illustrations! Polonsky draws kinetically, varying panel size and bringing in little jokes and references from art history and advertising. He draws Anne with mobile, animated features and huge eyes. Folman nimbly provides historical context the original diary lacks; this version clarifies what was happening in the outside world as Anne was writing. But Folman also includes several full pages of unfiltered, unillustrated diary pages, showing real respect for Anne&rsquo;s writerly voice. In an afterword, Folman says he only used 5 percent of the entire original diary; it feels like much more.&rdquo; &mdash;Tablet&ldquo;Folman and Polonsky have reclaimed Anne Frank in all of her humanity, and they allow us to witness for ourselves her beauty, courage, vision and imagination, all of the qualities that make her life and early death so heartbreaking. And, in doing so, they have elevated the tools of the comic book to create an astonishing work of art.&rdquo; &mdash;Jewish Journal &#160;&ldquo;Folman and Polonsky . . . focus on illuminating its humor, insight, and supporting cast in this spirited graphic adaption . . . Anne, drawn with large dark eyes, blooms like the hardiest, loveliest weed&mdash;a moody teenager whose wit, self-awareness, and rich fantasy life take center stage . . . The beauty of Anne&rsquo;s life and the untarnished power of her legacy&mdash;here further elevated by Folman and Polonsky&mdash;are heartening reminders of the horror of her fate.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, *starred review&ldquo;[W]itty, ironic, even snarky&mdash;Anne&rsquo;s writing has an acerbic sense of humor. This adaptation is first and foremost a remembrance of that Anne, who, despite living a life marred by tragedy, tried by indignities, always held true to herself. Light touches of historical context, woven in through diary entries, provide necessary background without coming across as overly didactic. The whimsical nature of Polonsky&rsquo;s illustrations . . . are unexpectedly moving: though we never lose sight of the gravitas of Anne&rsquo;s story, these forays into fantasy, which show Anne escaping from the harsh present into a future that will never come, serve to remind us of the truly human face of genocide. This is an exceptionally graceful homage to a story that deserves to be told for years to come.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist,&#160;*starred review&ldquo;A superb offering to read alongside the original, this adaptation lets its narrator's voice soar.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal&ldquo;Evocatively crafted, this comic brings Frank&rsquo;s world to life for all ages but takes care to respect and prioritize the primacy of her story in her own words.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;&lsquo;Even deep sleep brings no redemption,&rsquo; she writes. &lsquo;The dreams still creep in.&rsquo; Those dreams bring out the best of the illustrations amid the depictions of the everyday confinement in which Anne, her family, and others are hiding. A different format distills and renews Frank's achievement.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Emphasizes the visual nature of Frank&rsquo;s text . . . Bring[s] renewed vigor . . . Powerful . . . points us to the very gap, between what we, her readers, can imagine for her of her missed future, and what she would never have the opportunity to live through.&rdquo; &mdash;Women&rsquo;s Review of Books&ldquo;Folman highlights Frank&rsquo;s passionate, almost moral commitment to independence, her anthropologist&rsquo;s eye, her unique psychological insight and her profound understanding that pessimism devalues life . . . Above Polonsky&rsquo;s elegant illustration of the adult Frank, Folman&rsquo;s version of Frank&rsquo;s text makes for a piercing epigraph.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Forward&ldquo;The wide range of Folman and Polonsky&rsquo;s graphic ideas is mesmerizing. . . . Most strikingly of all, Polonsky takes the abundance of metaphors in the diary text literally and creates unforgettable panels that establish an expressive dimension and enable us to see the quality of Anne Frank&rsquo;s writing in a fresh light.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany)&#160;&ldquo;A masterpiece.&rdquo; &mdash;Il Mattino (Italy)&#160;&ldquo;The illustrations display a serene, impressive objectivity, and when Folman and Polonsky give rein to their imaginations to provide a pictorial dimension for Anne&rsquo;s feelings, they do so in an admirably skillful and charming manner . . . unfailingly striking an admirable balance that is poignant at every turn. The result is a remarkable reading and visual experience.&rdquo; &mdash;Frankfurter Neue Presse (Germany)

A jewelled little box of miracles. Magnificent.”—Warren Ellis, author of Gun Machine“[STARRED REVIEW] World Fantasy Award winner Tidhar (Central Station) will leave readers’ heads spinning with this disorienting and gripping alternate history. Author Lior Tirosh, grieving a personal tragedy, travels home after years abroad and immediately has a series of strange encounters that pull him into a complex plot to destroy the border between worlds. He arrives in Palestina, the land that the Jews were offered on the Ugandan border in 1904, which both closely resembles and is profoundly different from the Israel of our world, and is followed by two government agents who are trying to stop the destruction of ‘borders,’ though it’s unclear whose side they are really on. Tirosh discovers a niece he had forgotten, is accused of murder, narrowly dodges threats to his life, and takes on the role of a detective from one of his own novels as he tries to understand what is endangered and by whom. ‘No matter what we do, human history always attempts to repeat itself,’ Tidhar writes, even as he explores the substantial differences in history that might arise from single but significant choices. Readers of all kinds, and particularly fans of detective stories and puzzles, will enjoy grappling with the numerous questions raised by this stellar work.” —Publishers Weekly[STARRED REVIEW] “On the suggestion of his agent, pulp fiction writer Lior Tirosh flies back to the home he hasn't seen since childhood: Palestina, an East African Jewish state formed in the early 20th century. He soon discovers a lot has changed. In the capital, Ararat, unrest is at an all-time high. Palestina is creating a border wall to deter refugees from entering. Lior then learns from an old childhood friend that his niece Deborah is missing and takes on the persona of one of his own detective novel characters as he searches for her, only to be hunted by his own state's security. VERDICT Shifting perspectives will keep readers trying to catch up with this fast-paced plot involving incredible twists on multiple realities and homecoming. This latest from Campbell and World Fantasy Award winner Tidhar (Central Station) is fascinating and powerful.”—Library Journal[STARRED REVIEW] “Unholy Land is a wonder and a revelation—a work of science fiction capable of enthralling audiences across the multiverse.”—Foreword“Tidhar has turned a suspenseful adventure tale into a complex meditation on the possible paths of modern Jewish history.”—Chicago Tribune  “5/5 stars. A world (worlds) of thoughtfulness, suspense, imagery, and beautiful prose. Highly recommended.”—Fantasy Literature“Adventurous readers will appreciate this well-written and ambitious book. It should find a place at any library that offers high-quality literary fiction.”—Booklist “Unholy Land is a wildly inventive and entertaining novel that moves at a breathless gallop . . . [Tidhar] has already staked a claim as the genre’s most interesting, most bold, and most accomplished writer.”—Locus  “Extraordinary, confronting, intriguing. Unholy Land is a dream of a home that’s never existed, but is no less real for that: a dream that smells like blood and gunpowder. It’s precisely what we’ve come to expect of Tidhar, a writer who just keeps getting better.”—Angela Slatter, author of the World Fantasy Award-winning The Bitterwood Bible “There are SFF writers. There are good SFF writers. And there is Lavie Tidhar. In a genre entirely of his own, and quite possibly a warped genius, he rummages in the ruins of our centuries and our genres and makes out of them something strange, dark and utterly unique. There is no one like him writing in genre today . . . [Unholy Land]  will leave you dazzled and delighted.”—Ian McDonald, author of Time Was and Luna: Wolf Moon"Lavie takes us through a haunting, mesmerizing Judea, across multiple timelines into the promised night shelter in British East Africa. Here is an expedition at once proposed and taken, an alternate reality in which the holocaust is averted but the mechanics of displacement remain the same, where people are oppressed and oppressor at the same time. A genius, dreamlike fantasy for those who slip across might-have-been worlds.”—Saad Z. Hossain, author of Escape from Baghdad! “Unholy Land is a stunning achievement. It is packed to the brim with engaging ideas and features a captivating story . . . beautiful and thought-provoking.” —The Speculative Shelf“Lavie Tidhar’s daring Unholy Land brilliantly showcases one of the foremost science fiction authors of our generation.”  — Silvia Moreno-Garcia, World Fantasy Award-winning editor and author of Certain Dark Things “Unholy Land is probably better than Michael Chabon’s Yiddish Policeman’s Union.”—Bradley Horner, author of the Darkside Earther series“Full of ideas and unafraid to tackle big, controversial, important issues. Warren Ellis compares him to Michael Moorcock in an afterword, and like Moorcock, Tidhar writes books that are unpredictable and experimental, consistently and reliably surprising, yet always readable and engaging.” —Interzone “Loaded with thought-provoking takes on identity, the fluidity of reality, and weighty moral questions.”—Theirstein.net“A powerful meditation on the ethics of history and the power of borders . . . Unholy Land is a call to imagine and fight for alternatives.”—World Literature Today“Sophisticated and assured.”—Locus“Lavie Tidhar is the science fiction writer to be discovered now.” —Italian Esquire“Tidhar’s magic touch is the result of a very concise and evocative prose, an ingenious imagination, and the ability to poke the reader’s social conscience . . . Any fan of good speculative fiction with a pitch of noir, some pulp hints and a lot of sense of wonder will enjoy Unholy Land.”—Sense of Wonder “If you enjoyed Central Station, you’ll recognize Tidhar’s beautiful prose and lush imagination . . . Unholy Land is without a doubt one of the best books I read this year and one I will revisit numerous times in the future.  Highly, highly recommended”—The Curious SFF Reader“This was a thoroughly engrossing, entertaining and thought-provoking novel which, like Lavie Tidhar’s previous book Central Station, provides a cross-section of a marvellous world, though in this case a less fractured picture than that previous book. Part physics, part mysticism, it conveys a truly compelling multicultural tale of discovery and mystery.”—SF Crowsnest  “With gentle wit and strong alternate history, Tidhar pokes at the folly of humanity and wonders whether even if historical calamities are avoided, we’ll just come up with new ones to replace them. Threaded with themes of identity and belonging, Tidhar once again delivers an intriguing novel with multiple realities and hard-boiled detectives.”—Geek Dad“A gripping thriller: clever, bloody, ironic and twisted.”—Guardian“A novel which can be read on all sorts of levels, each as rewarding as each other, whether as sheer entertainment or serious speculation, making Tidhar a rather unique writer who seldom comes up with the expected and for whom each book is a challenge to the imagination..”—Crime Time“An unconventional book, from an author who is wildly imaginative and innovative. The prose is wonderful, the ideas are fascinating, and the whole book is very sensual, in that it evokes all your senses.”—We Three Readers“Award-winning fiction… Beautiful, lyric prose… Dramatic, cathartic science fiction stories. That’s the arena that author Lavie Tidhar occupies when he writes.”—Recursor“The blend of politics, allegory, and alternate-history detective novel is unconventional yet weirdly wonderful.”—World Praise for Central StationWinner of the Campbell AwardWinner of the Neukom Literary Arts AwardAn NPR Best Book of 2016An Amazon Featured Best Science Fiction & Fantasy BookA Tor.com Best Book of 2016A Guardian Best SF & Fantasy Book of 2016A Publishers Weekly Staff PickA Kirkus Best Science Fiction and Fantasy pickBritish Science Fiction Award, shortlistArthur C.

'Terror creates fear and only succeeds where there are witnesses to consume terror. Counter-terrorism in Luke Howie's imaginative framework means countering feelings of terror. He has written an original and critical contribution to terrorism studies in situating different categories of witnesses, and documenting their narratives of trauma and repair. Thoughtful and compassionate, Howe writes without jargon, prediction or pretence about the age of terror.' - Bryan S. Turner, Professor of Sociology, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA

'This impressive book not only engages critically with the specialized literature on terrorism but also introduces a new way of understanding the psychological effects of 9/11. This seminal research examines what it means when terrorists and the mass-media are inextricably intertwined. Howie brilliantly frames terrorism within the sense of uncertainty that it creates. Terrorism's power does not depend on damage or the number of casualties alone it depends on who is witnesses. Undoubtedly, Witnesses to Terror, is an all-encompassing view of terrorism, which I must confess is one of the best book I have read on the subject.' - Maximiliano E.
