The Sisters Dietl by Vojtch Masek

When one of the Dietl sisters ends up in hospital after what appears to be a brutal attack, leaving her with a mutilated face and unable to move, Masek leads the reader on a detective story exploring change of identity, doppelgangers, deformation, hallucination and altered states of mind in contrast with idyllic family life. This graphic novel takes place in a fictional world woven from dreams, hazy and distorted memories of childhood fears, fear of the unknown and the desire for a safe hiding place. Reality constantly disrupted by doubts, changing points of view, the neurotic need to find objective truth.
With slight exaggeration it could be said that whatever discipline Vojtěch Masek (* 1977) turns his hand to, his work always meets with incredible success: he was one of the screenwriters on the film 'The Little Crusader, which won best film at the festival in Karlovy Vary, while the children's book 'Puppet, Plum Pit, Plum, Plank and Back to Puppet', story by Masek and art by Chrudos Valousek, won the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi Award. However, he is most at home in the world of comics, which he creates either on his own or in partnership with other artists and writers. Since 2002, he and Dzian Baban have been developing the surreally farcical world of 'Fred Brunold's Monster Cabaret', which has appeared in five comic books, more than a dozen stage adaptations and in short films. They have also written two award-winning graphic novels with art by Jiří Grus. He also recently worked with the writer Marek Sindelka on the contemporary graphic novel 'Saint Barbara, 'art by Marek Pokorný, 2018), and his list of projects continues to grow.
