Recenzii

"***STONEWALL HONOR BOOK*** " - AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION "In Maurel’s sumptuously drawn time-travel fantasy, teenage Luisa is transported from the 1990s to the present to meet her 30-something self. Tamaki (This One Summer) adapts the translated French with freshly worded dialogue . . . In stand-out art, Maurel renders attractive characters with open, emotive faces and detailed Paris streets drenched in sunset-toned watercolors. There couldn’t be a lovelier setting for this winning story of romantic self-discovery." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (Starred Review) "A funny, touching, and beautifully illustrated and colored story about self-acceptance with equal appeal to adult and YA audiences." - Library Journal "***2019 Best Fiction for Young Adults List***" - YALSA "***Featured on NPR's Guide To 2018’s Great Reads***" - NPR ""It’s not just the best comic I’ve read in years, it’s the best book I’ve read in years. It moved me deeply and uses the medium brilliantly. Highly recommended." " - MARK WAID "***Featured in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY's Best Summer Reads, 2018***" - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "“A work of tender soul searching and honest dialogue.” " - COMICS BEAT "“An excellent book which tackles identity, sexuality, family pressures, and love in all its splendor….Funny, relevant, poignant, and fascinating.” " - GRAPHIC POLICY "“A stunning book. … Unique and sweet.” " - THE NERDIST "“A poignant time travel story with a queer romance angle.... Tamaki has significant experience exploring teenage characters in books like Skim and the Eisner Award-winning This One Summer, and she takes Nanette McGuinness’ translated dialogue and adapts it for an American ear…. Maurel and Tamaki take these women on a powerful journey through their past and future.”" - AV CLUB ""8 Best Sapphic Comics & Graphic Novels" (alongside Lumberjanes, Giant Days, and Goldie Vance)" - BOOK RIOT "" A queer, transformative tale about self-acceptance and sexuality that is already generating rave reviews " - COMICOSITY ""Luisa tackles familiar queer coming-of-age themes with a time-travel device that makes it perfectly suited to the comic medium." " - PASTE MAGAZINE "A “beautifully illustrated and expressive graphic novel about self-reflection, acceptance, sexual identity, and time travel, Luisa: Now and Then. Who better to translate that into English than Mariko Tamaki?”" - SYFY WIRE "“LUISA: NOW AND THEN is a great comic book about teenage angst and the fear of failing. How sometimes our younger self would be disappointed by the choices we make as adults. A beautiful and nostalgic story, about discovering who we truly are, and not forgetting our inner child.”" - MARGAUX SALTEL "Maurel’s painterly, naturalistic artwork, in sumptuous full color, beautifully conveys the story. . . . should resonate with plenty of readers." - Booklist "“Insightful and funny, this is a feel-good coming-of-age story.”" - COMICS WORTH READING
