Venice
Venice | Jir? Taniguchi
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
After his mother dies aged 78, the author discovers a beautifully lacquered box which contains what appear to be old hand-drawn postcards and photos of Venice. One photo of Piazza San Marco particularly catches his eye. It is of a Japanese couple feeding a multitude of pigeons in the square dressed in what looked like 1930's style. Who were they? What relevance did they have for his mother? Armed with the contents of the lacquered box he travels to Venice to track down the places and events in the images and to discover the identity of the young couple in the old photograph.

Lovely book of watercolour paintings of Venice that come to life even more after experiencing the city in real life.

Wouldn't call it a graphic novel as it's not really a story!

Bye bye, Venice 🥲 I will be back to see you again someday!

Have just arrived in Brescia for phase 2 of Italian adventure.

Am way too excited that our flat has a TV so that we can have a Eurovision party.

My friends are unanimously less pleased.

Hooked_on_books I went to Venice years ago and had a great time. My friend and I had a map out trying to find something and a guy stopped and asked us for directions. We couldn‘t help him (uh, we needed a map). He says, “but you have a map—you know where you are!” It still makes me laugh. 8mo
RaeLovesToRead @Hooked_on_books Hahaha... the guy we rented the flat from told us to get lost in Venice... we walked round in many circles trying 🤣🤣 8mo

You may recognise the top middle picture from my pic the other day! These pictures are near where we are staying.

Venice by Jiro Tanaguchi is a book of watercolours of Venice. It is billed as a "graphic novel" but I wouldn't really call it a story. It's more of an art book with narrative aspects.

Flipping through trying to work out which bits we'd seen was fun (e.g. my friend: "that's the bridge where you started complaining your feet hurt").
