Adaptacja prozy Brunona Schulza w komiksie rodzeństwa Nishioka

Abstrakt

The Nishioka siblings are a team of Japanese comic book writers and artists. Recently, they have been working on comic books adapting literary texts, including those by Franz Kafka and Bruno Schulz. Encouraged by Yuichi Konno, editor of the Japanese subcultural artistic periodical Yasō, in 2009, in a special number of Yasō, focusing on „Monsters & Freaks”, they published a cycle called “A Record of Metamorphosis. Inspired by Bruno Schulz” (Henshin no kiroku. Burūno Shurutsu ni yoru) and in the following number, on Hans Bellmer and dolls, a comic strip “Tailors’ Dummies” (Manekin ningyō), based on four stories by Schulz from Cinnamon Shops. The Nishioka siblings quoted particular sentences from those stories, translated by Yukio Kudo. The essay presents their work to the Polish reader.
