1 post | 2 read
Day 1 Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map – it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what’s that…? And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Korean Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over. Here in this book, readers travel with one girl on her journey, while also spending time with her family and friends left behind. Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward.

It‘s been: 0 days since a book made me cry. Inspired by the Buddhist death tradition of bardo, in which the soul remains in a state between life and rebirth for 49 days before moving on, this graphic novel follows both Kit, a young woman who has just died, beyond and her grieving family back home for 49 days. This is a deeply moving and keenly aware meditation on love, life, family, and grief that will make you feel it all.
