Books by Henri Scala
“GoSt 111 is one of my sweetheart books…It’s really fun because it shows you a piece of Paris, and life in general, that you don’t know. It’s about underground life and how it’s a struggle. This guy is a Serb and no matter what he does, he seems to get involved in thuggery instead of getting on the straight and narrow. He’s got a little girl, and his mother, her grandmother, is helping out. He gets out of jail and tries to avoid it, but once again, he gets drawn in. He always seems to get drawn down the wrong path. It’s fiction, but it could be true, just not being able to get out.” Read more...

Five Graphic Novels People Need to Read, recommended by Ivanka Hahnenberger
Comics are a great way to read all sorts of stories, whether fiction, nonfiction, or a compelling blend of the two. Ivanka Hahnenberger, translator of more than 70 graphic novels, talks us through some of her favourites, from the history of the atomic bomb to the heartbreaking story of Olympic athlete Samia Yusuf Oman, from the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ to contemporary Iran and Paris.
