Sarah Leavitt Orden de los libros (cronológico)

    Sarah Leavitt crea narrativas profundamente personales a través del medio de la novela gráfica, explorando a menudo la intersección de la memoria, la familia y la historia. Su obra temprana profundiza en las complejidades emocionales de las relaciones familiares y la enfermedad, utilizando el lenguaje visual de los cómics para transmitir sentimientos y experiencias matizados. Más tarde, se dedicó a la ficción histórica, investigando y reimaginando meticulosamente la vida de una figura cautivadora, quizás apócrifa. El enfoque de Leavitt se caracteriza por una fusión de investigación rigurosa e interpretación artística, ofreciendo a los lectores una exploración convincente y visualmente rica de la condición humana.

      In this powerful memoir the the LA Times calls “moving, rigorous, and heartbreaking," Sarah Leavitt reveals how Alzheimer’s disease transformed her mother, Midge, and her family forever. In spare blackand- white drawings and clear, candid prose, Sarah shares her family’s journey through a harrowing range of emotions—shock, denial, hope, anger, frustration—all the while learning to cope, and managing to find moments of happiness. Midge, a Harvard educated intellectual, struggles to comprehend the simplest words; Sarah’s father, Rob, slowly adapts to his new role as full-time caretaker, but still finds time for wordplay and poetry with his wife; Sarah and her sister Hannah argue, laugh, and grieve together as they join forces to help Midge. Tangles confronts the complexity of Alzheimer’s disease, and ultimately releases a knot of memories and dreams to reveal a bond between a mother and a daughter that will never come apart.
