Comic book biographies have got a bit of a bad name for themselves these days – mostly thanks to Bluewater.
This looks like something else entirely.

Matthue Roth (no relation to Penina Roth) ¡½ whose latest book, My First Kafka: Runaways, Rodents, and Giant Bugs, is the kind of children's story that adults love ¡½ wrote a different sort of Orthodox memoir, Yom Kippur a Go-Go. Described as a ¡Èmind-blowing meeting of pop culture, Orthodox faith, and hipster poetics,¡É Roth's story is basically the opposite of what Auslander and Feldman have done. Despite the peyos(side locks) and yarmulke that identify him as a Hasid, he dresses more like the kind of guy you would skateboard with than the type you'd meet at synagogue. With his head and heart in the Hasidic world, Roth also celebrates his secular tastes throughout his memoir, striking a balance between his old-time religious beliefs and modern-world interests, from poetry to hip hop.

Unfortunately, a well-reasoned critique of consumer capitalism isn't enough to stop the tears of your betrayed loved ones when you have rightfully boycotted ¡ÈThe Holidays.¡É And while ¡Èplanting a tree in your name¡É seems to be entirely socially acceptable, ¡ÈI wrote your name on a rock and threw it at a cop¡É seems not to be.
¡ÈI don't want anything¡É seems to be equally taboo.
So, for all of those who have to shop for a critical theorist, radical or metaphysical asshole, you may behold the commodification of the revolution.

Sylvia Plath believed it was never too early to dip children's toes in the vast body of literature. But to plunge straight into Kafka? Why not, which is precisely what Brooklyn-based writer and videogame designer Matthue Roth has done in My First Kafka: Runaways, Rodents, and Giant Bugs (public library) ¡½ a magnificent adaptation of Kafka for kids. With stunning black-and-white illustrations by London-based fine artist Rohan Daniel Eason, this gem falls ¡½ rises, rather ¡½ somewhere between Edward Gorey, Maurice Sendak, and the Graphic Canon series.

My First Kafka is the quirky Hasidic writer and game designer Matthue Roth's attempt to bring Kafka to children without giving its young readers ¡Èunsettling dreams,¡É for which he enlists the ornate black-and-white illustrations of Rohan Daniel Eason. One of these volumes may change the course of Kafka studies forever, and the other will lull your children to sleep. But which is which?
