A fantastic comic-book collaboration between the artist Rosanna Bruno and poet Anne Carson based on Euripides’s famous tragedy.

The Trojan Women, follows the fates of Hekabe, Andromache, and Kassandra after Troy has been sacked and all its men killed. This new comic-book collaboration between the visual artist Rosanna Bruno and poet and classicist Anne Carson, attempts to give a genuine representation of how human beings are affected by warfare.

“Bizarre, haunting, and hallucinatory illustrations by Bruno render the tragedy’s characters as animals (dogs, cats, crows, cows) and inanimate objects (a cracked poplar tree, “some sort of gearbox, clutch or coupling mechanism”). What results is a gnarly, perfectly inscrutable dreamscape of Euripides’ tragedy.”

—Lily Houston Smith, Vol. 1 Brooklyn

“Carson and Bruno have risen to an unusual challenge. Their medium's conventions could have flattened distinctive literary qualities, but their book instead refocuses our attention on Euripides' styles.”

—Edith Hall, Times Literary Supplement
