The Sisters Dietl

When one of the Dietl sisters ends up in hospital after what appears to be a brutal attack, leaving her with a mutilated face and unable to move, Masek leads the reader on a detective story exploring change of identity, doppelgangers, deformation, hallucination and altered states of mind in contrast with idyllic family life. This graphic novel takes place in a fictional world woven from dreams, hazy and distorted memories of childhood fears, fear of the unknown and the desire for a safe hiding place. Reality constantly disrupted by doubts, changing points of view, the neurotic need to find objective truth.
