    Amazing graphic novel
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022*

Eisner was a genius storyteller and comic artist. His power of observation is superb.His characters are full of life and his use of vernacular language adds to his character portrayals.

    The granddaddy of an art form
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2008*

R. Crumb calls it comix.  Jules Feiffer called it junk art.  Will Eisner gives it the ugly-sounding title of sequential art.  A popular name for it now is graphic fiction.  What DOES one call the genre in which Eisner was such a pioneer?Eisner tells us that his goal in A Contract with God, a book that has become famous for being the "first" graphic novel, was to create an art work in which there is "no interruption in the flow of narrative because the picture and the text are so totally dependent on each other as to be inseparable" (preface).  This is a hard trick to pull off.  Equally difficult is the task of telling a coherent story that many readers will (unfavorably) judge using the standards that they apply to novels or short stories.  Whatever else a graphic novel is, it doesn't fall in either of those genres.  The graphic novel is much more impressionistic, more minimalistic, than even a short short story can afford to be.Eisner takes the bull by the horns in this ground-breaking book, and puts not one but four separate stories between one cover.  His artwork truly is breathtaking, pretty nearly succeeding in the uninterrupted flow he's aiming at.  The stories themselves are uneven in quality, and each of them, with the possible exception of the last one ("Cookalein"), tend toward the maudlin in places.  Moreover, the most ambitious of them, the title story, seems especially underdeveloped.  It may be that the potential depth of the story simply can't be expressed in this genre.  At the same time, though, each of them captures, in a way reminiscent of the stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer, something of the flavor of Jewish city life in the 1930s.All in all, Eisner's book is both an historical landmark in the evolution of junk art, sequential art, graphic fiction, or whatever we eventually call it, as well as a collection of stories that are still very readable and artistically commendable.
