Synopsis

A group of anarchist punks plan to sabotage the opening of a multi-national restaurant by blowing it sky-high. Still reeling from a friend's suicide and struggling to reconcile his spiritual path with his political actions, the main character Chopstick's journey is a meditation on life, love, friendship, and the ghost of Kurt Cobain.

About this title

About the Author:

Ant Sang is one of New Zealand's most respected cartoonists. His early mini-comic, Filth, built him a large and loyal following. His design work on the animated TV series bro'Town introduced his distinctive and appealing style to the wider public. He followed this up with the publication of his graphic novel Shaolin Burning. The existential kung-fu epic was both a critical and commercial success, spending 10 weeks in the Top Ten NZ Bookcharts and was nominated for the prestigious New Zealand Post Childrens' Book Awards.

Review:

"A well-crafted, sustained epic of Buddhist punks, existentialist anarchists, skinhead neonazis and -- looming over everything like a grinning Mephistopheles -- the global corporation that wants everyone to "Consume! consume! consume!" You'll be blown away by The Dharma Punks."-- Dylan Horrocks (Hicksville, The Magic Pen)
