About the author
Jerome Charyn
223 books230 followersJerome Charyn is an award-winning American author. With more than 50 published works, Charyn has earned a long-standing reputation as an inventive and prolific chronicler of real and imagined American life.
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon calls him "one of the most important writers in American literature." New York Newsday hailed Charyn as "a contemporary American Balzac," and the Los Angeles Times described him as "absolutely unique among American writers."
Since the 1964 release of Charyn's first novel, Once Upon a Droshky, he has published thirty novels, three memoirs, eight graphic novels, two books about film, short stories, plays, and works of non-fiction. Two of his memoirs were named New York Times Book of the Year.
Charyn has been a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. He received the Rosenthal Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was named Commander of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture. Charyn is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Film Studies at the American University of Paris.
In addition to writing and teaching, Charyn is a tournament table tennis player, once ranked in the top ten percent of players in France. Noted novelist Don DeLillo called Charyn's book on table tennis, Sizzling Chops & Devilish Spins, "The Sun Also Rises of ping-pong."
Charyn's most recent novel, Jerzy, was described by The New Yorker as a "fictional fantasia" about the life of Jerzy Kosinski, the controversial author of The Painted Bird. In 2010, Charyn wrote The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson, an imagined autobiography of the renowned poet, a book characterized by Joyce Carol Oates as a "fever-dream picaresque."
Charyn lives in New York City. He's currently working with artists Asaf and Tomer Hanuka on an animated television series based on his Isaac Sidel crime novels.

Continuing from Margot in Badtown. Margot and her wrecking crew demolish and remodel apartments, but Margot is a "Robin Hood" who defies or stalls her bosses to help squatters and derelicts relocate. Intriguing concept, quirky and well-drawn characters, diverse and colorful settings, gorgeous and detailed visuals.

La secuela a "Margot en Badtown" tiene a la protagonista y su equipo contra la ex artista circense Anjelica Monk y su millonario esposo, quienes desean arrasar el Harlem Español. Una historia narrada por Charyn cuyo principal interés reposa en las ilustraciones de Massimiliano Frezzato.

Pacing like there are pages missing, though artwork and (wood?) color only the 90s could have made. Somehow reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: manga-ish but with its own way of expression, especially in colour.

Love the art.
The dialogue is terrible and the story is ridiculous. It reads like a really bad 80s movie.

Read in Heavy Metal Overdrive Special Issue = 1995
Story: **
Dumb but with plenty of action.
Art: ****
The first tome was shockingly great art but this one seems like it was rushed. He's still in the upper echelon just not at his best.
