Drengen Benny vokser op i et trygt og respektabelt hjem. Men i skolen virker han besat af ”hvide Becky” og har altid sit blik rettet sjofelt mod hende. Han bliver en skændsel for familien, opdrages til at undertrykke sine lyster og længsler, og som voksen bor og lever han afsondret. En dag ser han Becky, og besættelsen af hende bliver genvakt. Er hun klar til ham, eller er han langsomt ved at miste grebet om virkeligheden?Den canadisk-serbiske billedfortæller Nina Bunjevac tager udgangspunkt i den græske myte om Artemis og Siproites. Da gudinden Artemis badede nøgen, blev hun opdaget af jægeren Siproites, og straks derefter forvandlede hun ham til en kvinde. Med dette som udgangspunktberetter Bunjevac en psykologisk udforskning om et seksuelt rovdyrs vrangforestillinger.

Nina Bunjevac''s brilliant debut graphic novel returns in this expanded 10th Anniversary edition.¿Powered by an expressive black and white drawing style, reminiscent of Robert Crumb and the meticulous pointillist technique of Drew Friedman, the dark undertone of Bunjevac¿s humour brings into light the range of socio-political issues her comics deal with, such as gender, nationalism or urban alienation, always from an ironic feminist perspective. Her chain-smoking, slightly alcoholic and manically depressed character Zorka may just be today¿s ultimate antiheroine. A Balkan immigrant in the Brave New World, working in that same meat factory for the last twenty years, tormented by family constraints and her own secret desires¿ we simply can¿t get enough of her.¿ ¿ BTurnFor mature audiences

Standing alongside Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis and Joe Sacco's Palestine, Nina Bunjevac's Fatherland renders the searing history of the Balkans in the twentieth century through the experiences of the author and her family. In 1975, fearing her husband's growing fanaticism, Nina Bunjevac's mother fled her marriage and adopted country of Canada, taking Nina-then only a toddler-and her older sister back to Yugoslavia to live with her parents. Her husband and Nina's father, Peter, was a die-hard Serbian nationalist who was forced to leave his country in the 1950s. Remaining in Canada, he became involved with a terrorist organization bent on overthrowing the Communist Yugoslav government and attacking its supporters in North America. Then in 1977, while his family was still in Yugoslovia, Peter was killed in an accidental explosion while building a bomb.Through exquisite and haunting black-and-white art, Nina Bunjevac documents the immediate circumstances surrounding her father's death and provides a sweeping account of the former Yugoslovia under Fascism and Communism, telling an unforgettable true story of how the scars of history are borne by family and nation alike.

A stunning psychological exploration into the delusional mind of a sexual predator.
