Two Brothers
Two Brothers | Gabriel Ba
4 posts | 9 read | 10 to read
New groundbreaking work from Ba and Moon!Twin brothers Omar and Yaqub may share the same features, but they could not be more different from one another. After a brutally violent exchange between the young boys, Yaqub is sent from his home in Brazil to live with relatives in Lebanon, only to return five years later as a virtual stranger to the parents who bore him, his tensions with Omar unchanged. Family secrets engage the reader in this profoundly resonant story about identity, love, loss, deception, and the dissolution of blood ties.* From the Eisner Awardwinning and New York Times best-selling duo behind Daytripper, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon!Bas distinctive lines render characters in minimal strokes; clever transitions, well-placed shadows, and atmospheric scene-setting live up to the twins already well-deserved reputation for beautiful art.Publishers Weekly

Milton Hatoum's novel converted into a graphic novel by the same brothers who worked on The Umbrella Academy. Passion, revenge, intense hatred set in Manuas. It was a treat to read.

One of my #FoodandLit books for Brazil came today. A graphic novel set in Manuas. @Texreader @ElizaMarie I know you like this format.

ElizaMarie Ooo I do! I couldn't find it on Hoopla or Libby but I am going to stack it so I can look elsewhere. Thanks! 4y

#MarchIntoOz Day 27: The story revolves around twin brothers Yaqub and Omar whose close affinity in their mother‘s womb was matched by the enmity they felt for each other from childhood. There is definitely #BadBoyForLove here as the cause of the rift between the two brothers was a beautiful girl. This is a complex family saga illuminated in stark, dramatic black and white illustrations that will drill a hole in any reader‘s consciousness.

Fascinating and heartbreaking tale of twin brothers whose opposite natures and indulgent family tear them apart. While neither is completely innocent in the chain of events, one can't help but feel that the younger is far more to blame than not. I'm definitely going to seek out the original book this graphic novel was adapted from. Another great graphic novel from Moon & Ba!

KilgoreTrout I love those two! I'll definitely have to check this out 8y
