In his first graphic novel as writer-artist, Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner interweaves his own career as a pioneering American video game developer with his family's back story of surviving two European world wars. The origin stories behind Mechner's iconic games take on deeper meaning in this intergenerational epic of transmission, the creative life, and the enduring challenge of holding a family together in an ever-changing world. (Winner of the 2023 Chateau de Cheverny history graphic novel prize.)
