Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Graphic novel over orkaan Katrina en New Orleans in 2005. Door de nadruk op zes mensen leggen lukt het de auteur de ellende en wanhoop persoonlijker te maken. Narratief sterk en een mooie dwarsdoorsnede van deze ramp en het falen van de autoriteiten. Tekenstijl iets minder mijn ding. ( )
A.D. avoids politics; its real power is in its images of waterlogged cityscapes and its characters' expressively rendered faces, streaming with sweat and contorted in anguish. In Crumb-like detail, Neufeld convincingly re-creates his protagonists' ordeals—and their halting recovery. Neufeld's style is in no way haphazard. His drawings are reminiscent less of the superhero than of the Sunday comics page. That doesn't mean they are youthful or naive. With simple lines -- deft and evocative -- Neufeld communicates complex human emotions. Two- and three-color palettes render the passing days with sober integrity.
A.D.: New Orleans After the Delugeis a masterful portrait of a city under siege. Cartoonist Josh Neufeld depicts seven extraordinary true stories of survival in the days leading up to and following Hurricane Katrina. Here we meet Denise, a counselor and social worker, and a sixth-generation New Orleanian; “The Doctor,” a proud fixture of the French Quarter; Abbas and Darnell, two friends who face the storm from Abbas’s family-run market; Kwame, a pastor's son just entering his senior year of high school; and the young couple Leo and Michelle, who both grew up in the city. Each is forced to confront the same wrenching decision–whether to stay or to flee. As beautiful as it is poignant,A.D.presents a city in chaos and shines a bright, profoundly human light on the tragedies and triumphs that took place within it.
