( ) This meticulously crafted graphic novel is set during the tumultuous history of Singapore following World War II. Charlie Chan Hock Chye is a young comic book artist whose illustrations and perspective bring Singapore’s history to life. As a Singaporephile (watch videos of my 2017 trip here) I was intrigued to learn more about about a figure I had never heard of. And there’s a good reason why I had never heard of him: because Charlie Chan Hock Chye isn’t a real person. I was astounded by the level of work, love and research that Sonny Liew put into this book. This is easily one of the most ambitious and detailed graphic novels that I have ever read. It became an instant favorite! A very interesting biography of a Singaporean comics artist who refused to compromise his political views in his art and suffered economically as a result. His work encompasses the history of the Singaporean state, inconvenient warts, exiled opposition politicians and all -- often presented in a humorous and irreverent manga-like style. Aterriza en España el primer cómic ganador del Premio de Literatura de Singapur 2016. Un viaje fascinante y conmovedor, divertido e inquietante. Chan tiene poco más de setenta años y lleva creando cómics en su Singapur natal desde 1954, cuando solo era un niño de dieciséis. Mientras echa la vista atrás a su carrera de más de cinco décadas de duración, sus historias se presentan ante nosotros en un deslumbrante despliegue de estilos artísticos y formas, y su desarrollo refleja la evolución del panorama político y social de su tierra y del propio universo del cómic, a través de esta obra de ficción. El arte de Charlie Chan Hock Chye ha reunido una miríada de géneros para crear esta biografía de la vida y obra de Chan Hock Chye, un artista pionero en el mundo del cómic, pero en gran parte olvidado en Singapur. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s as he looks back on his career, Chan has spent a lifetime making comics in his native Singapore since he was a boy of 16, in 1954. The artist doubles here as both the narrator and the subject matter, as his life story parallels the changes in Singapore over five decades since the war. The evolution of his artwork mirrors the evolution of both his homeland and the comic book medium itself. The myriad art styles employed by Liew go beyond deft sleight-of-hand and actually inform the narrative in a thoroughly ingenious and engaging way. While all the detail about the formation of the Singapore government adheres meticulously to the facts, the reader is ultimately left wondering whether or not Charlie Chan Hock Chye himself is real or a construct. And given the subject at hand, that quandary only adds to the themes raised in this enthralling graphic novel"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
