Graphic novel
Impromptu III
Martien Bos created a fantastic two-page graphic novel out of Impromptu III, one of my ultra short stories. You can view the complete work on this page.
What makes Martien's work special, to me, is his ability to enlarge the story's subtleties. Even the word story may be a bit too much for this sketch of a melancholic thought, of a thought of something that could have been or has been and becomes visible in the landscape. The zooming-in, the sketchiness, the layout in the form of horizontal and vertical drawings that almost form lines on their own (as lines are important in the story) — a successful interpretation of a story that emerged from within me when I looked out of the train and saw railway lines disappear in the snow. Enjoy!
