The author was really intentional with every aspect of this book. The plants were a great analogy. ( ) A melancholy little mood piece has a woman reflecting on her childhood with a mother who was often emotionally and physically absent due to her mental health issues. She uses their shared interest in gardening as a means to cope with and connect to the fleeting memories she has of her mother.

(Best of 2023 Project: I'm reading all the graphic novels that made it onto one or more of these lists: • Washington Post 10 Best Graphic Novels of 2023 • Publishers Weekly 2023 Graphic Novel Critics Poll • NPR's Books We Love 2023: Favorite Comics and Graphic Novels This book made the PW list.) A spare memoir about moving forward through childhood trauma and maintaining a connection with the memory of one's parent in the face of their mental illness and abandonment. The few words of the text give way to abundant illustration, the same way a memory can feel all around us while simultaneously eliding the words we need to retell it. I enjoyed. Ephemera is a melancholy graphic biography truggle to handle her mother's mental illness. It poignantly blends memoir, magic realism, and graphic medicine with ethereal artwork. From the early days of her childhood, Brianna had to get used to her mother being physically absent from her life to being psychologically absent. Her mother never got well and Brianna accepted as much of her mother’s behavior as she could. I thought it odd that none of the characters had names. However there was only author Brianna, her mother and her father. There wasn't much dialogue either. The story took place in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. The story drifts among a grown woman, her early memories as a child, and the gossamer existence of her mother. I was sad after reading this book. It was highly recommended by reviewers so I obtained a copy of it. I wish I hadn't, though, because it is a story with no happiness whatsoever. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. The story drifts among a grown woman, her early memories as a child, and the gossamer existence of her mother. A lyrical entry in the field of graphic medicine, Ephemera is a story about a daughter trying to relate to a parent who struggles with mental illness. Gorgeously illustrated in a painted palette of warmy, earthy tones, it is a quiet book of isolation, plants, confusion, acceptance, and the fog of childhood. Loewinsohn's debut book is an aching, meditative twist on autobiography, infusing the genre with an ethereal fusion of memory and imagination. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
