Le livre de Jessie - Journal de guerre d'une famille coréenne #[nn]

Casterman's Le Livre de Jessie presents Park Kun-Woong's stark, woodcut-style black-and-white imagery with striking immediacy — the cover shows a man in a fedora pointing into the distance while a woman clutches two small children beside him, all set against a backdrop of ruined, bombed-out buildings and scattered figures in the rubble below. Subtitled Journal de guerre d'une famille coréenne, this 2019 volume promises an intimate, personal lens on the upheaval of war as experienced by one Korean family. A visually arresting and emotionally grounded work that speaks quietly but with real weight.
