Oskar Ed: My Greatest Dream (344 pages, Lipnik, Praha, 2016)
Young Oskar is bored on the back seat of the car. His mum and dad are arguing, the journey’s taking too long, and in
addition it’s not even clear where they’re going. In order to avoid listening to his parents’ endless bickering, Oskar
escapes into his own universe, where reality is transformed and warped in fantastical ways. However, all that takes
place has its origin and parallel in the real world. Oskar gradually begins to understand forgotten family secrets, and in
the powerful finale reveals the devastating truth. Oskar Ed: My Greatest Dream is an ambitious graphic novel played
out on several time levels and in several spiritual worlds. It vividly illustrates the manner in which a child perceives and
processes family disagreements, and demonstrates how trauma and dreams may have a great deal in common. The
author worked on the book for ten years.
