Overview
Un cómic íntimo y revelador sobre la esencia de la familia y la necesidad de crear vínculos, por la multigalardonada autora de Hierba y La espera, con más de 50.000 ejemplares vendidos en España.
***IMPRESCINDIBLE PARA LOS AMANTES DE LOS PERROS***
«Un arte poderoso, de trazo salvaje y negros muy densos». —New York Times Book Review
En el centro de esta historia hay una mujer que nunca consideró traer un perro a casa. Pero su marido, triste por la muerte de su abuela, con la que le unían fuertes lazos desde la infancia, insiste y acaban teniendo uno. Es el primer paso para un cambio en la vida de esta familia sin hijos, pues terminarán mudándose al campo, a una hora de Seúl. Al poco, ya habrán adoptado un segundo perro.
En sus paseos diarios se cruzan con gente y perros de todo tipo, algunos abandonados, otros maltratados por sus dueños o encerrados en jaulas, esperando a ser sacrificados o incluso cocinados... vestigios de antiguas maneras de tratar a los animales. En Perros, Keum Suk Gendry-Kim parte de su experiencia personal para retratar, de un modo insólito, la violencia inherente al hombre, pero también la necesidad, tan humana, de crear vínculos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The author of Grass and The Naked Tree returns with a profound tale of family.
Yuna never wanted to adopt a dog. But with her partner in mourning–and in desperate need of a boost in morale–she gives in to his humble request. And in the grand tradition of reluctant pet owners, she and their puppy soon become inseparable. The young couple even goes so far as to relocate to soothe their new canine pal’s anxiety. After all, there’s nothing like a move to the country to set yourself right. Right?
The idyll of a quiet life soon gives way to a surprising degree of antagonism, including clashes with long-time local residents of a different generation. The culture shock is palpable for all three urban transplants as the isolation of their new environs starts to sink in. They eventually adopt another dog, and still another–all while reckoning with the ups and downs of middle-age and childlessness in an unforgivingly traditional milieu.
Dog Days is critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning cartoonist Keum Suk Gendry-Kim’s first foray into contemporary fiction. With the aid of veteran translator Janet Hong, Gendry-Kim’s twenty-first century tale of an unconventional family building trust with one another and their neighbors is a heartfelt exploration of compassion and the unlikely places we find the love we all need.
