About this deal

Given this is really a woman’s journey of self discovery, I found the exploration of Teresa and Ruben’s relationship to be somewhat lacking. I swear to God, Teresea only makes faces that are equivalent to the 0_0 emoji, but the rest of the art makes up for it. I did find the flips between Teresa's present and the other archeologist team in the 1920s to be interesting, but it took me reading the synopsis to realize the perspective switch was supposed to be what Teresa reading in her book. Les escenes íntimes de la relació flueixen amb una bellesa i una naturalitat fascinant, cosa que és comú a les obres prèvies de Fior, però potser en aquesta ocasió gaudim de dos personatges que s'obren més l'una a l'altre, malgrat tot allò que volen amagar.On the other hand, an almost random meeting with another Italian living in Berlin, Ruben, will throw Teresa into a maelstrom of passion, crisis and a non-bourgeois lifestyle that clashes with her more professional, normative and linear aspirations. Wer also Bock hat auf ein bisschen altes Ägypten und alternative Berliner Szene um die Jahrtausendwende, der ist in "Hypericum" bestens aufgehoben. Manuele Fior dessine avec une technique qui rend les paysages un peu flous avec un fondu de couleur.

So sagt man, wenn man als erwachsene Person noch Comics lesen, sich dabei aber trotzdem möglichst intellektuell fühlen will. Thank you to NetGalley and Fantagraphics Books for the temporary ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review. I don't like reaching for my translator and painfully typing it all in by hand, so I mostly ignored the non-English parts.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. I've been writing criticism about comics since the early 2000s, as well as about illustration, animation and imagetext relationships. Europe Comics was launched in 2015 in an effort by European publishers of graphic novels to more attention from the English-language market, and it’s unfortunate that they have just announced that they are shutting down.

Blurb: It's 2001, and Teresa, a young Italian suffering from insomnia and a generally fragile state of mind, has just arrived in Berlin with a grant to help organize an exhibit of Tutankhamen's treasure. Con Hypericon, come già fatto in Cinquemila chilometri al secondo, Manuele Fior ritorna a raccontare le vibrazioni della giovinezza, le inquietudini del cuore, i legami più forti dello scorrere del tempo. I had to go back and reread the plot synopsis to understand why the HELL there was a scene with 9/11 of all things!

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 other story has an Italian woman named Teresa getting the opportunity of a lifetime to help an exhibition in Berlin of the Tutankhamen’s treasures in 2001. Un’autostrada che l’ha portata, nell’ammirazione generale, a centrare puntualmente tutti gli obiettivi che si era prefissa.

f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh the interests of the parties concerned. And on her fist day in the city, she meets Ruben, an artist her age, also Italian, who has been in Berlin for two years, living off the checks his father sends every month and not accomplishing very much. Par ailleurs, je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages et leur histoire d'amour m'a un peu laissée de glace. Personnellement, j’ai eu l’occasion de voir l’exposition Toutankhamon à Saint-Malo avec les objets retrouvés dans sa tombe. It seems to be a rumination on the connection between the past and the future -- the latter symbolized by the 9/11 attack, which ends the book.
