No Evil is Wide: Graphic Novel
No Evil Is Wide is the violent story of an unnamed narrator, the prostitute he is tasked to "find," and Carpenter Wells, a man who has lost his soul and wanders, empty, unable to quench his desire. The remembrances of the narrator revolve around sexual awakening, family distance, and dissolution-how they crumble to common and inevitable animalism. It is filled with philosophical epistles to the reader that concretize the themes of the work. The narrative that allows the reader purchase within the text begins with the narrator locating the unnamed girl while the world devolves into a chaotic madness of bombings and destruction not dissimilar to contemporary existence. This chaos serves as an uncanny reminder of the everyday violence we overlook.

It's literary. It's graphic. It is not for children. The award-winning novella that provides the text for this edition is unique in the sumptuous nature of it's prose. But it is also oh-so dark. Think noir detective in a near dystopian future... the world is just beginning to tip over into utter chaos. Murder and mayhem ensue and it is all told with such amazing language. THEN add the artwork of Charles Moody! The book is a work of art.
