Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit

In 2017, Suhrkamp published a single-issue comic adaptation of Marcel Proust's Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit, distilled into a graphic novel by the singular Austrian cartoonist Nicolas Mahler. Known for his minimalist, deadpan style, Mahler reimagines Proust's sprawling modernist novel as a concise, visually witty narrative. This one-shot stands as a notable, idiosyncratic entry in the tradition of literary comics, offering a playful yet respectful gateway to a classic.
