Guy Nadaud, known as Golo, was born in Bayonne in 1948. He began his artistic career in 1973 as an illustrator for the music magazine Best. In the same year he visited Egypt for the first time, fell in love with Cairo, and has lived there for many years beginning in the 1990s. A prolific cartoonist and comic-book creator, Golo has contributed to many French and Egyptian periodicals, among them Hara-Kiri, Charlie Hebdo, Libération, Cairo Times, L'Association (Cairo), and Charlie Mensuel. In the 1980s his regular collaborator was the late Frank Reichert (""Frank""). His countless comic albums include adaptations of Albert Cossery, travelogues on Taiwan, and a two-volume graphic biography of the Romanian revolutionary vagabond Panaït Istrati. Born in Manchester, England, Donald Nicholson-Smith is a longtime resident of New York City. He has translated many texts of the Situationist International, including Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle and Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life. PM Press has also published his translations of Anselm Jappe's intellectual biography Guy Debord and Vaneigem's Letter to My Children and the Children of the World to Come. Translations of poetry include Guillaume Apollinaire's Letters to Madeleine and the self-selected poems of the dissident Moroccan author Abdellatif Laâbi, In Praise of Defeat. Nicholson-Smith has also worked on noir fiction, notably several novels by Jean-Patrick Manchette for New York Review Books. And, among graphic works, Nicole Claveloux's The Green Hand and Yvan Alagbé's Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures.
"""By dwelling so effectively on Traven's years as a revolutionary known as Ret Marut, Golo taught me so much about the Bavarian soviet republic of 1919. For that alone this book would have been very precious and profitable for me."" --Raton-Liseur, Babelio ""Golo's B. Traven: Portrait of a Famous Unknown, in a comic art format, provides a new and wonderful way to look at one of the twentieth century's most mysterious radicals and one of its now-forgotten novelists. We may not have all the answers, but we do know that Traven led a most fascinating life continent to continent, bohemian to revolutionary milieu."" --Paul Buhle. retired senior lecturer, Brown University; authorized biographer of C.L.R. James; and editor of more than twenty non-fiction graphic novels"
