Thomas Ott's wordless, woodcut-style storytelling finds a compelling showcase in this 2009 Kartago förlag release, with Ott handling both the writing and art throughout. The cover, drawn by Ott himself, sets the mood with his signature scratchboard aesthetic — stark, deeply shadowed imagery that pulls you in before you've turned a single page. A single-letter title, "I," promises something intimate and unsettling in equal measure.
