Zondag von Olivier Schrauwen

Published in English in 4 installments between 2018 and 2021, Olivier Schrauwen’s Sunday is a testament to the possibility of the graphic novel as a form. Schrauwen was born in 1977 in Flanders and currently lives in Berlin. He is considered to be one of the most important authors working in the field – think of Chris Ware for reference.

In 2023 Bries Space published Zondag in Dutch as one tome of 472 pages, an event of sorts, and an object of delight for any lover of paper and fine print. English, French and Spanish editions are being prepared by other publishers.

The story banal – one day in the life of a fictional nephew – it nevertheless manages to convey something of the human experience, as Schrauwen focuses on somebody that is alone with his thoughts for an entire day. Highly creative and original, Schrauwen doesn’t flinch from the less noble side of what it means to be alive. 5 star material for sure.

Parallel Lives von Olivier Schrauwen

The art was uninteresting, the stories were uninteresting, the characters were uninteresting. Really wish I hadn't picked this up, or, failing that, hadn't cracked the cover.

The first, and least auspicious, of the stories turned out to be funny at times, which gives one the hope that, like many a webcomic, there will be some good stuff communicated through these amateurish drawings. Turned out that was a fluke, though. This is a collection of stories about vaguely different don't-quite-fit-in-and-slightly-insecure-about-it characters in wildly different times and places which all, oddly, look as if they were scrawled on bathroom stalls. One almost expects the finale to be a full-page face drawn onto and around a bog-roll holder.… (mehr)
