O seu primeiro libro, The Encyclopedia of Early Earth, foi publicado en 2013 por Jonathan Cape no Reino Unido e pola Random House no Canadá. Their sharp and shaggy edges animate Greenberg's stories of giant-slaying adventure the dramatic contrast between dark and light makes the inky blackness of Nord winters particularly oppressive. Isabel Greenberg, nada en 1988, 1 2 é unha galardoada novelista gráfica e ilustradora. The images in "The Encyclopedia of Early Earth" hew even closer in style to German Expressionist woodcuts. Only the Birdman's daughter, Kiddo, seems to care for the humans on earth - in part because she had a hand in creating them.īut, of course, this is really Greenberg's world, and the influence of David B., author of the acclaimed "Epileptic," is at work here. The medicine man, like the Birdman god who rules Early Earth, is feckless and uninterested. Our hero sets out on his quest after he discovers that a scrap of his soul escaped when a medicine man split him into three identical boys - one for each of the three sisters who found him on the bank of the lake. The terrain here feels familiar - Greenberg borrows left and right from the Bible, Greek mythology and folk tales - but that only makes it easier to plunge headlong into the icy waters of Nord, the storyteller's homeland.
