The Theatre of Cruelty by Tessier and Laflevr

Tessier and Lafleur's debut graphic novel from Fantagraphics collects four striking stories each prefaced with an original tarot card illustration. "The Sleeping Heart," "The Theatre of Cruelty," "The Lovers," and "To Chandra from Surya" filter autobiographical fragments through the dream world, plumbing the depths of the psyche, mining the mythology of our collective unconscious. Written and drawn over a five-year period, each tale in The Theatre Of Cruelty is a rollercoaster ride through hell and heaven, fueled by a quest to capture the truth through the power of imagination.
