Details: Short description He was either hated or adored beyond measure. His penchant for taboos repeatedly led to censorship in both France and Germany. But Reiser is far more than pornography and provocation: with his epoch-making style, a minimal, unmistakable stroke of the pen, he created cantankerous but lovable characters like Jeanine or the Gros Dégueulasse. As a passionate observer of humanity's rise and fall, Reiser denounced the entire wretchedness of everyday life and took a radical stance against injustices of all kinds. Almost three decades after his untimely death in 1983, we miss the humorist more than ever. And he remains what he is. A great one. Press reviews "Almost 30 years after his death, his work is being rediscovered. It is crude, anarchic, and remarkably current." (Sebastian Hammelehle, SPIEGELOnline) "Reiser doesn't want to provoke foolishly, but rather to intelligently expose: The time has never been riper for Reiser, because understanding human nature is not subject to fashion. Four volumes have been published. Finally." (Jan Küveler, DIE WELT) "The Zurich publisher Kein & Aber cannot be thanked enough for bringing Reiser's works back to the market. The first four volumes are available, and anyone who wants to show intellectual greatness should place this edition on their much-vaunted coffee table." (Rainer Moritz, Hamburger Abendblatt) About the author and other contributors JEAN-MARC REISER was born Jean-Marc Roussillon in Lorraine in 1941. His talent for drawing developed early and free from any academic influence. Among other things, he drew for the legendary comic magazine Hara-Kiri, which he founded (banned after 1970), for the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, and later also for serious daily and weekly newspapers such as Le Monde and Le Nouvel Observateur. Reiser is now considered France's greatest cartoonist. He died in Paris in 1983. In 2003, the Centre Pompidou honored him with a retrospective. Translated by BERND FRITZ. His book "Die klassische Anmache" was published by Kein & Aber.
