Tales of the Wild West
1 primary work
Book 1
In a startling, loose watercolour style, Sfar takes us back to the Jewish communities in eastern Europe before WWII - at the birth of klezmer music. Marrying traditional Yiddish folk music to jazz and blues, klezmer gives this tale a soundtrack, as Sfar takes us on a tour of a vanished era. Both dark and lighthearted, tragic and hilarious, violent and tender all at once, Sfar never ceases to amaze and surprise, and defy categorisation.
