NEW YORK REVIEW COMICS
StockID: 146860 SKU: FEB251841
Colonial history haunts this stunning- spectral-looking graphic novel- a spiritual sequel to the author's Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures. Yvan Alagbé continues his interrogation of race and family in modern France. The book focuses on the dream-like memories of a woman named Clare- who is spending time with her family for her grandfather's funeral. Alagbé shifts between narratives of the family- all haunted by the legacy of France's colonial subjugation of Africa. Alagbé works in stormy grayscale washes- using comics- as he puts it- as 'a sacred dimension which celebrates- questions and perpetuates life.... I believe that life is not damnation but grace.'
