Umma's Table

In Umma's Table, writer Janet Hong and artist Yeon-sik Hong craft a poignant, slice-of-life graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, published in 2020. This single-issue work explores the tender, complex relationship between a mother and her adult son through the intimate lens of shared meals and family memory. Yeon-sik Hong’s expressive art and Janet Hong’s nuanced translation of the original Korean text bring a deeply personal, cross-cultural story to life, marking a quiet but resonant entry in contemporary comics.
