"PRAISE FOR THE BOOK ""Gagman is a daring and uncompromising work, both allegory and achingly real - a confronting, haunting, and disturbing descent into hell, drawing on word and image to create a world in which to remain sane one must go mad. Dov Fedler totally inhabits his protagonist, and pushes his craft and his imagination to the limits to expose the horrors of Nazism, and to explore the redemptive power of art, humanity and humour."" - Arnold Zable ""Dov Fedler, in Gagman, has plunged the reader into a crazy world where the Holocaust collides with Superman and Nietzche and the result is a virtuosic graphic and written allegory. It is a very original take on a highly contested history - who can tell the story of the Holocaust? Through a pastiche of Talmudic scholarship and confronting black humour, Gagman is a way of looking into the abyss. A 21st century Scheherazade, a tale for our times."" - Sydney Jewish Museum ""Gagman is a searing and brilliant book which does more to expose the horrors of the Nazis than any book since Eli Wiesel's Night."" - Alan Gold 'With a humour so searing and audacious it made me gasp, revered cartoonist Dov Fedler bears witness to the horrors of the Holocaust in this extraordinary work of startling originality and ingenuity.' - Suzanne Leal, author of The Deceptions 'Gagman is an extraordinary piece of work - strange and haunting and uniquely itself.' - John Maytham 'Can we transform suffering into art and, more outrageously, into humour? Two Jews walk into my heart with a book that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Gagman treads the edge of the forbidden joke, speaking to the histories of all marginalized people. A book of bitter and sweet nuance in which 'everything is speakable.' - Tyson Yunkaporta, author of Sand Talk"
