The Season of Roses. Chloé Wary.
240 pages, 16.60 x 22.80 cm. Color. Trans. Portuguese. Planeta Tangerina.
Two books and both are pivotal books for young teenagers. A significant contribution to the diversity of voices, genres and styles of comics in Portugal, through a translation and an original work.
"The Season of Roses" is about a female team, somewhere in a suburb of Paris, that faces an injustice, which mirrors so many other injustices about women but also in the personal life of Barbara, the protagonist. What is to be done?
"Devio" focuses on the days when Miguel is alone at home, while the heat wave drives away all desire to do anything or make "serious", "grown-up" decisions. What is to be done?
Two books that thematize the apparent "apathy" of young people - from the perspective of adults - and empathetically bring us closer to adults, young people, and young people to each other in a solidarity of concerns.
