Oylem Goylem (2009) Comic strip album Based on the theatrical masterpiece of the same name, Oylem Goylem is a graphic work filled with painful humor, in a succession of Jewish stories and jokes.From the stage of an unknown theatre, the narrator Simcha Rabinowicz/Moni Ovadia entertains the reader with a series of songs and stories, populated by a vital and desperate sampler of humanity. The synagogue cantor Naftule Rosenblatt, the emigrant Moishe Moshkowitz, the epical Yiddishe Mame, the priest-rabbi competition, Hebrew, Yiddish, lithurgical and naughty, song and bordello, tricksters and victims described in a multi-lingual text. A picturesque fresco of the Jewish world, the world of aphorisms and cries, of exile and dives, of song and silence, in a poetic adaptation by Saverio Montella. (fonte:www. coconinopress.com) "I have always read comic books, they have marked the seasons of my life since my childhood and adolescence. It warms my heart to think of adults, old and young, of children who, alone or with their parents, read and re-read Oylem Goylem, in the colorful rhapsody of Saverio Montella's graphic rendition".
