Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"In a world where people know ever less about their neighbours, this graphic novel is both a fantasy.and a cautionary tale. Anyone who has ever lain in bed at night listening to the sound of unknown voices on the other side of the cardboard wall will relish the way she lets her imagination off its leash.funny.beautiful looking.this book might almost be alive" -- Rachel Cooke Observer, Graphic Novel of the Month 20120226 "An enjoyable tale, dark but full of energy, fascinated by the private lives and perversity that bulge beneath suburbia's facade" -- James Smart Guardian 20120221 "A damn fine book; hugely, spectacularly impressive" ForbiddenPlanet.co.uk "Karrie Fransmen breaks all the rules of storytelling accumulated over the past thousands of years. She creates a confusion at first, then bursts into the obvious and simplest fact; that all the stories of and in our lives are personal and private... The only way this wonderful book could have been written is by illustration...not by word... rather like the hidden stories drawn on the walls of caves" -- Nicolas Roeg, Director Of Don't Look Now And Walkabout "Fransman's dual background as a psychology and sociology student and a creative advertiser helps underpin her skills at both characterisation and communication. By its melodramatic finales, The House That Groaned acknowledges some scars that miss their chance to heal, but also gives us a kind of happy ending for two tenants" -- Paul Gravett Independentmehr
