pickWhy was Paco Roca‘s mother so deeply attached to a family photo from the 1940s? In this immersive work of personal history, the cartoonist uncovers the explanation. The deprivations of Franco-era Spain are brought to life in this moving graphic novel. Translation by Andrea Rosenberg.
Without a past, we are nothing. We need a past in order to feel like we are part of something larger and more ancient, which we call ancestors, humanity.

pickGood book and learned a lot although not sure how much I could remember😅😅
pickSo interesting. Scholarly, but not dry. Jahner asserts that the majority of Germans immediately following WWII saw themselves to be victims, “and thus had the dubious good fortune of not having to think about the real ones.” Book shown underneath is the amazing graphic memoir Belonging by Nora Krug.
“There were 40 cubic metres of rubble for each surviving resident of Dresden.”
