Hypericon

Product Information

It seems to be a rumination on the connection between the past and the future -- the latter symbolized by the 9/11 attack, which ends the book. Con Hypericon, come già fatto in Cinquemila chilometri al secondo, Manuele Fior ritorna a raccontare le vibrazioni della giovinezza, le inquietudini del cuore, i legami più forti dello scorrere del tempo. Par ailleurs, je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages et leur histoire d'amour m'a un peu laissée de glace. But I don't really understand Teresa and Ruben, both of whom do get something akin to personality grafts near the end of the book, and whose relationship seems largely based on (quite explicit) sex. La linea retta, invece, è del tutto assente nella personalissima geometria di Ruben, giovane e velleitario artista italiano.

This short novella is set in the late 1990s, in Berlin, a city which has been the European magnetic center of the alternative scene since the late 1970s, at least. Personnellement, j’ai eu l’occasion de voir l’exposition Toutankhamon à Saint-Malo avec les objets retrouvés dans sa tombe.

The ending kind of threw me though, I sort of expected something different I guess, or maybe a bit more tension.

I won't lie, I did sigh and think to myself "Here we go again with the French obsession with sex and shoving it in all of their comics". Manuele Fior dessine avec une technique qui rend les paysages un peu flous avec un fondu de couleur. On the other hand, an almost random meeting with another Italian living in Berlin, Ruben, will throw Teresa into a maelstrom of passion, crisis and a non-bourgeois lifestyle that clashes with her more professional, normative and linear aspirations.

Quando Teresa e Rubens si incontrano, il destino cambierà per sempre la traiettoria delle loro esistenze. Teresa meets Ruben, but he may not offer her the stability she needs as her insomnia frays her fragile mind.The cheeky "I know you don't understand a word" at the end was a really irritating poke in the eye of the reader. It's 2001, and Teresa, a young Italian suffering from insomnia and a generally fragile state of mind, has just arrived in Berlin with a grant to help organize an exhibit of Tutankhamen's treasure. dual story of an archeologist discovering an Egyptian tomb and a grad student with insomnia in Germany who meets a pretentious man child and has a lot of sex.

Jahrhunderts und der Anbruch des neuen Jahrtausends werden in der Graphic Novel «Hypericum» von Manuele Fior in wunderschönen Bildern zusammengebracht. Between the 2 archeological storylines, the romantic relationship, and the connecting asides, I found the book's elements to be somewhat competitive vs harmonious.Schlaflose Nächte, Selbstzweifel und die chaotische Beziehung zu Ruben gestalten die Tage unberechenbar. Asides from the plot synopsis of the novel, the story itself doesn't mention that it's set in the year 2001 at all.
