Hypericon

Product Information

Es nota en els personatges, però es nota sobretot en l'arquitectura i els espais berlinesos, que brillen amb llum pròpia sota el prisma de l'autor. The second, set at the turn of the 21st century, concerns twenty-year-old Teresa Guerrero, an Italian university student come to Berlin on a grant to work as scientific assistant at the state university’s installation of a Tutankhamen exhibit. I've been writing criticism about comics since the early 2000s, as well as about illustration, animation and imagetext relationships. At the core, Teresa whose life has always been followed like "a long, very comfortable straight line, now finds herself detoured by a fellow Italian living abroad who lives a far more carefree and whimsical lifestyle. Wenn man (wie ich zur Zeit) in einem mittelschweren Reading Slump steckt, ist ja weniges angenehmer als die Lektüre einer richtig schönen Graphic Novel.

Interlaced are Teresa's struggles with insomnia and her later successful treatment of it using a plant of long-believed unusual and restorative properties: Hypericum perforatum aka St. Among his titles, Le variazioni d’Orsay (Coconino press, 2015), I giorni della merla (Coconino press, 2016), Il grande amico (Rizzoli, 2013) by Alain-Fournier.

Manuele Fior dessine avec une technique qui rend les paysages un peu flous avec un fondu de couleur.m., at the Italian Cultural Institute in Berlin, Manuele Fior, one of the most outstanding contemporary comics authors, presents his new graphic novel Hypericon (Coconino 2022), which tells the delicate love story between Teresa and Ruben in 1990s Berlin.

Teresa is goal-oriented and has always lived her life in a straight line, doing whatever she sets out to do. As they explore the new city together, the romantic connection feels like an escape from responsibilities. El volum encavalca dues històries separades per quasi un segle —la relació de la Teresa i en Ruben i la d'una troballa arqueològica— fent servir com a nexe el faraó-nen i el seu tresor. As it turns out, the art style doesn't really match the cover—the cover is far more detailed, realistic, and painting-like than most of the rest of the book.Overall, I would say that I liked this graphic novel but would have preferred a lesser focus on the relationship, and a greater exploration of Teressa's coming-of-age narrative running parallel with the historical ones.

But it really threw me out of the story every time it happened and I sat there trying to remember what a word meant in German. I didn't get what all this meant, I didn't get where the plot was going, I didn't get the purpose of the book and I didn't get the whole Egypt parallelism.

This short novella is set in the late 1990s, in Berlin, a city which has been the European magnetic center of the alternative scene since the late 1970s, at least. I feel like this graphic novel was meant to have a deeper meaning that just flew right over my head. Parts of this, then, I really liked, like the view of punk Berlin and the look at the excavation (in particular, I loved the way the tomb map repeats throughout the story, getting more detailed as the excavation team learns more).

Posteriorment, vaig agafar prestat La entrevista, que també em va agradar molt, però amb el qual no vaig arribar a connectar de la mateixa manera.

One in which she's a hardworking and high achieving professional in her field; and another in which she's is living in a squat with a man named Ruben after meeting him on her first day in Berlin, and about whom she knows little, other than that his carefree and roaming spirit is the exact opposite of her's. But I don't really understand Teresa and Ruben, both of whom do get something akin to personality grafts near the end of the book, and whose relationship seems largely based on (quite explicit) sex. The Egyptians (the author says) perceived the future as being behind them and the past ahead of them, and this is why they buried their kings for eternity.
