Poem Strip
By Dino Buzzati
Translated from the Italian by Marina Harss

There's a certain street—via Saterna—in the middle of Milan that just
doesn't show up on maps of the city. Orfi, a wildly successful young
singer, lives there, and it's there that one night he sees his
gorgeous girlfriend Eura disappear, “like a spirit,” through a little
door in the high wall that surrounds a mysterious mansion across the
way. Where has Eura gone? Orfi will have to venture with his guitar
across the borders of life and death to find out.

Featuring the Ashen Princess, the Line Inspector, trainloads of
Devils, Trudy, Valentina, and the Talking Jacket, Poem Strip—a
pathbreaking graphic novel from the 1960s—is a dark and alluring
investigation into mysteries of love, lust, sex, and death by Dino
Buzzati, a master of the Italian avant-garde
