The Black Sea
Ana Pessoa & Bernardo P. Carvalho
Summer is coming to an end, but the beach café is still a hive of activity. JP serves the tables and Inês is behind the bar, making coffee, slicing ham, preparing toasties. They’re not exactly the best of friends. He’s jokey and light-hearted, she takes life a little more seriously.
One foggy morning, an unexpected event brings them together. But the more Inês becomes wrapped up in a drama which is not her own, the more she detaches from her own life.
So who is Inês deep down? Who does she want to be? And, more importantly, can you ever be someone you’re not?
“Sometimes I feel like I’m not myself”.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s as if I’m someone else or as if I’m trying to be
someone else”.
“Inês, we’re always someone else”.
After Diversion, Ana Pessoa and Bernardo P. Carvalho return to the subject of identity with another remarkable graphic novel made up of long, meandering dialogues and flawless illustrations in two pantone colors.
