Reviews
"With his signature invigorating art, Ken Krimstein bridges time to connect us with these fascinating lost stories. This is a revelation and a gift!" -- Noah Van Sciver, Ignatz Award-winning author of The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski "Ken Krimstein is a brilliant graphic artist and caricaturist-but above all he is a master storyteller. His new graphic narrative on the Holocaust is destined to become a classic. When I Grow Up is one of those haunting lost stories." -- Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Prometheus and Director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography in New York "Ken Krimstein's deeply moving graphic memoir is not only about Hannah Arendt. It's also, through her words, about how to live in the world, the meaning of freedom, the perils of totalitarianism, and our power as human beings to think about things and not just act blindly. Krimstein explains Arendt's ideas with clarity, wit, and enormous erudition, and they still resonate." -- Roz Chast on THE THREE ESCAPES "A remarkably salvaged history brought fully to life by Ken Krimstein's humor, sensitivity, and vibrant ink drawings. These autobiographies are a rare and special glimpse into the life of six bright, bold, Jewish teenagers-artists, scholars, and activists waking up to their world just before it ignited. Brimming with details and definitions, When I Grow Up is an important contribution to the preservation of Jewish history and culture." -- Amy Kurzweil, author of Flying Couch: A Graphic Memoir "Poignant and haunting, the stories of silenced voices are beautifully drawn back to life. These lost autobiographies could not have been found by anyone more perfect to tell them." -- Carol Isaacs, author of The Wolf of Baghdad: Memoir of a Lost Homeland "Hitler may have destroyed the vibrant world of Lithuanian Jewry, but remnants of its literary, cultural and quotidian life were salvaged by a band of resourceful librarians and Ken Krimstein has transformed a package of those treasures for us to savor, ponder and grieve. He has taken six stories of ordinary life written by teenagers for a prewar essay contest and with inventive and poignant doodle-like drawings brought the Lithuanian Jews to life all over again." -- Joseph Berger, author of Displaced Persons: Growing Up American After the Holocaust "Depicts Arendt in a way no other book has--bringing her passion and physicality to life using the medium of comics to distill Arendt's dense writings to their essence and to make us feel the passion of her thinking . . . intimate, immediate and real." -- The Forward on THE THREE ESCAPES OF HANNAH ARENDT "A compelling performance with great pacing . . . both intelligible and memorable." -- Kirkus (Starred Review) on THE THREE ESCAPES "Gorgeous . . . despite the often dark subject matter, it's packed with wit . . . it's a fun and, especially in a final illustration that encapsulates Arendt's hopes for a better world, inspiring work." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune on THE THREE ESCAPES "This is an incredible story, artfully told with exuberance, humor, and compassion." -- Deborah Levy on THE THREE ESCAPES OF HANNAH ARENDT, "Depicts Arendt in a way no other book has--bringing her passion and physicality to life using the medium of comics to distill Arendt's dense writings to their essence and to make us feel the passion of her thinking . . . intimate, immediate and real." -- The Forward on THE THREE ESCAPES OF HANNAH ARENDT "Gorgeous . . . despite the often dark subject matter, it's packed with wit . . . it's a fun and, especially in a final illustration that encapsulates Arendt's hopes for a better world, inspiring work." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune on THE THREE ESCAPES "Ken Krimstein's deeply moving graphic memoir is not only about Hannah Arendt.
