Portugal
Portugal | Cyril Pedrosa
3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
French comic book artist, Simon Muchat, has reached one of life's dead ends. He drifts through his uneventful day-to-day existence, which has become devoid of color and flavor, and severely lacking in inspiration. He has no plans, no desires, no projects, and is slowly stagnating in his job as a school art teacher. He seems indifferent to his girlfriend's reproaches as she tries to shake him from his torpor. Simon is invited to spend a few days in Portugal for a comic book festival. The invitation strikes a chord with him, as his family is originally from there, and he hasn't been back since his childhood. Perhaps this will at long last lead him out of the maze, and towards a new life of color and feeling and the senses. This is the story of rebirth, through the rediscovery of a childhood place, shrouded in the haze of memory.

There‘s a dreamy, soft focus feeling to this graphic novel about a comics illustrator who goes to a wedding in Portugal and searches for his paternal history and for his missing artistic inspiration but I really struggle with graphic books and my mind wandered a lot during this one.

xicanti I highly recommend the tagged book. It might help with some of the issues you encounter when you read comics: 5y
