{"product_id":"realist-book-asaf-hanuka-9781608866885","title":"The Realist","description":"Acclaimed Israeli cartoonist Asaf Hanuka s weekly strips collected into one volume and translated into English for the first time. In 2010, Israeli newspaper The Calcalist asked Hanuka, already well known in Israel as a commercial illustrator and as a contributor to the animated film Waltz With Bashir, for a weekly comic strip. The first of the autobiographical strips chronicled Hanuka discovering that he and his wife and their young son need to find a new place to live, immediately and in a 'crazy' Tel Aviv real estate market, because the apartment they ve been renting has been sold. As an artist, husband, father or a regular Israeli citizen, Asaf Hanuka chronicles everyday life in his country, with humor that is offbeat and sometimes surreal. Shot for shot, Hanuka's home is depicted as a vibrant metropolis and provides a brilliant depiction of modern Tel Aviv. Archaia's edition of The Realist translates and collects both volumes of the work previously titled KO ´ Tel Aviv into a single book for the first time. '. . . rich to view . . . Each page is its own reward. YA as well as adult readers will enjoy this clever collection of everyday life observations.' - Library Journal (starred review)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49535584207121,"sku":"GOR007165794","price":24.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50386309251345,"sku":"CIN1608866882G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423770444049,"sku":"CIN1608866882VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1608866882.jpg?v=1767096610","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/realist-book-asaf-hanuka-9781608866885","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
