Publisher's Synopsis
A child descends into the hell of a Russian prison camp, where he develops into a skilled tattoo artist - a talent that wins protection, but at a heavy price. This transcendent graphic novel is the work of an award-winning French illustrator and Jerome Charyn, acclaimed by The New York Review of Books as "a fearless writer. Brave and brazen." Includes a new English translation by Charyn. Suggested for mature readers.
