The One Hundred Nights Of Hero asserts that there is power to be found in telling our own stories – and perhaps hope too.
Stories have power: To transmit truths, amplify voices and empower people. Which is why one of the hallmarks of oppressive societies is to deny the oppressed their stories, the power to control their own narratives.
Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel The One Hundred Nights Of Hero sketches a gorgeous tale out of this premise, weaving together stories both familiar and new into a larger whole. The book is set in the same fantastical world as her debut, The Encyclopaedia Of Early Earth, but like its predecessor, reaches beyond its pages to resonate deeply with the world we live in.
