A haunting and powerful look at modern society and our reliance on structures--both physical and suggested -- Dead Memory represents some of the best published work of one of France's most highly acclaimed graphic novelists, Marc-Antoine Mathieu. Beautifully illustrated in high-contrast black-and-white, and published in an oversize, hardcover format, Dead Memory is both an allegorical study of a Kafka-esque society under the control of real-time information and a thoughtful treatise on cities, walls, languages, and other elements that both define and confine humanity.

* Dead Memory marks the first English-language publication of the work of this multi-award-winning French cartoonist.
