De Vries wrote to ask Feuchtenberger if she might want to collaborate, and together they've produced some of the most striking German comics of the last thirty years, most notably \u003ci\u003eW the Whore\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollected here in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eW the Whore\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eW the Whore Makes Her Tracks\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eW the Whore Throws the Glove\u003c\/i\u003e present the shared vision of de Vries and Feuchtenberger at its most ambitious. The titular heroine, W the Whore, drawn in a shifting guise by Feuchtenberger, navigates the tedious rituals of womanhood, the unsettling mysteries of male desire, and the strangeness of motherhood, all while moving through a familiar but hostile everyday landscape of houses, factories, rail yards, and other ominous structures. An intimate and captivating work of comics, \u003ci\u003eW the Whore\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the challenges of existing in the bodies that we have been fated to inhabit, and what we do to persevere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anke Feuchtenberger, Katrin de Vries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681376725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2023","brand":"Anke Feuchtenberger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945955721471,"sku":"9781681376721","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b34c6857-78f6-47fa-a84b-f8e1dcfe7195.jpg?v=1681510708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/w-the-whore-anke-feuchtenberger-9781681376721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
