{"product_id":"petar-liza-miroslav-sekulic-struja-9781683969648","title":"Petar \u0026 Liza","description":"When Petar returns home to civilian life after his two-year conscription in the ex-Yugoslavian army, he finds himself adrift. Even amidst the most raucous, late-night parties, he feels detached from it all, like a ghost haunting the living. But a serendipitous encounter with Liza, a dancer with a joie de vivre about her, brings a flood of vibrant color into his gray life. Their lyrical romance forms an oasis in a bleak world, until his inner demons start to reveal themselves. \u003cp\u003eA heartfelt character study, this graphic novel paints the portrait of a complex protagonist often at odds with himself. At times, Petar writes soulful, life-affirming poetry, while at others he falls into spells of depression and self-destruction. \u003cem\u003ePetar \u0026amp; Liza\u003c\/em\u003e is a work of meticulous expressionism that reflects Miroslav Sekulic-Struja's vivid artistic vision. In dazzling gouache, Sekulic-Struja conjures an earthy, street-level view of humanity, bringing to life bohemian environs of dive bars, back rooms, and crowded cityscapes. He paints a world in darkness and turmoil, in which rays of sunshine occasionally peek through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miroslav Sekulic-Struja\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683969642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683969648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/25\/2024","brand":"Miroslav Sekulic-Struja","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790171140351,"sku":"9781683969648","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0036144c-a387-4585-ba42-dc187cef526c.jpg?v=1707288158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/petar-liza-miroslav-sekulic-struja-9781683969648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
