Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures

(4) 4-6 Translated by John Brownjohn. Smoothly translated from German, Moers's hefty bildungsroman centers on the fantastical adventures of Rumo, a Wolperting. Wolpertings, or highly developed dogs, are well described and shown through the author's pen-and-ink drawings, but many of the novel's lands and secondary creatures are overdone. Moers's affinity for dark topics and his unflinching descriptions may make some readers squirm.
