Dead by Own Desire

Steffen Kvernland's new book "Dead by Own Desire" is deeply personal: it tells the story of his father's suicide and how it affected the author's life when he was only 18 years old. In addition to Kvernland's stunning illustrations, the book features real family photographs that add dynamism and drama to the narrative. The story is told with a considerable dose of humor, making it even more poignant.
In 2017, Steffen Kvernland was awarded a prestigious prize by the Swedish Academy of Comics for his work. In Russia, he is known as the author of the graphic book "Munch," a biography of the famous Norwegian artist, which received the Bragi literary award and has been translated into 11 languages.
