A review by uosdwisrdewoh
The Left Bank Gang by Jason

4.0

All of Jason’s works can kind of blend together. When I bought this I told the clerk, “I think I haven’t read this one, but I’m not sure.” Across all of his works, Jason uses anthropomorphized dogs, cats, and birds, almost always with the same blank expressions.

But Jason’s deceptively simple style and static layouts conceals an astonishing control of rhythm and tone. He draws you in and holds you tight. And once he lulls you, he dives into an intricate clockwork plot that first confounds and then perfectly snaps into place.
