DesiPundit

Space Bar reviews Amruta Patil’s maiden graphic novel Kari.  She is struck by the vivid and effective interaction of text and image to narrate the story.

In Kari, the text does the work of a voice over: the voice is poetic and introspective; often the text sits perched atop a single panel as if poised for flight. This is not a fanciful conceit: Patil’s work frequently invokes images of flight and falling, and the thin edge of indecision on which her eponymous heroine teeters.
