There is a story from ages ago of a king Ivan Albatross. He had taken possession of an evil magical orb known as the eye of the cyclops. The power of the eye controlled the weather, and earthquakes that ravaged the land. With the eye he could fly across the sky, disappear, and reappear. He also could create savage cyclopes which caused havoc and chaos for his enemies. He then tried the unthinkable, he attempted to raise his dead wife from the grave. His servant Tiban Talon stopped him, with the eye he stopped the storms, and destroyed all the cyclopes. He became a hero and a king, He put the eye in the socket of a cyclops statue which neutralized its power. A thousand years later the eye still sits in the Cyclops statue in the Talon palace. Over the years this story became more popular. Over the decades it became lore and over the centuries it became legend. Now a millennium later, and an ongoing war between the nations of Apollyon and Antillean. It is a fairy tale, and it is just a legend, or is it? "Foolish boy, you have no idea what the eye can do" Ivan Albatross "I will not let this evil take me." Tiban Talon

“The characters in Dhaliwal’s stories sparkle. They’re tenderly rendered and their problems are real... The struggle of the cyclops unfolds in metaphors for race, sexuality, gender, and disability, tangling with ideas about fetishization, interracial relationships, passing, and representation.“—Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House Following the critical and popular success of Woman World—the hit Instagram comic which appeared on 25 best of lists—Aminder Dhaliwal returns with Cyclopedia Exotica. Also serialized on instagram to her 250,000 followers, this graphic novel showcases Dhaliwal’s quick wit and astute socio-cultural criticism. In Cyclopedia Exotica, doctor’s office waiting rooms, commercials, dog parks, and dating app screenshots capture the experiences and interior lives of the cyclops community; a largely immigrant population displaying physical differences from the majority. Whether they’re artists, parents, or yoga students, the cyclops have it tough: they face microaggressions and overt xenophobia on a daily basis. However, they are bent on finding love, cultivating community, and navigating life alongside the two-eyed majority with patience and the occasional bout of rage. Through this parallel universe, Dhaliwal comments on race, difference, beauty, and belonging, touching on all of these issues with her distinctive deadpan humour steeped in millennial references. Cyclopedia Exotica is a triumph of hilarious candor.

A brilliantly wide-ranging essay collection from the author of My Struggle, spanning literature, philosophy, art and how our daily and creative lives intertwine. In the Land of the Cyclops is Karl Ove Knausgaard's first collection of essays to be published in English, and these brilliant and wide-ranging pieces meditate on themes familiar from his groundbreaking fiction. Here, Knausgaard discusses Madame Bovary, the Northern Lights, Ingmar Bergman, and the work of an array of writers and visual artists, including Knut Hamsun, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Kiefer and Cindy Sherman. These essays beautifully capture Knausgaard's ability to mediate between the deeply personal and the universal, demonstrating his trademark self-scrutiny and his deep longing to authentically see, understand, and experience the world. 'Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive' New York Times
