Pique Dame

  • Only rights to illustrations available

In a series of her favorite texts, newly illustrated, Kat Menschik presents Pushkin’s extremely dramatic tale of love, greed and disappointed hope in a congenial round dance of playing-card characters. She sets skulls dancing, transporting us from Russian winter nights almost all the way to Mexico and Dia des Muertos. Firstrate dark Romanticism.
