"Bên trong vo kén vang" (2023)

[cristalconnors]

71. Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (Phạm Thiên Ân, 2024)

An ethereal, elliptic, yearning quest for meaning when confronted with the incomprehensibility of living and religion offers no answers. Phạm’s technical virtuosity is on constant display without ever feeling distracting or ostentatious, but is rather always in service of his ambitious, otherworldly vision. Rating: 8.9/10

Family Style is an interesting look at immigration through food

Family Style is an interesting look at immigration through food #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel

Thien’s first memory isn’t a sight or a sound. It’s the sweetness of watermelon and the saltiness of fish. It’s the taste of the foods he ate while adrift at sea as his family fled Vietnam. Behind every cut of steak and inside every croissant lies a story. And for Thien Pham, that story is about a search– for belonging, for happiness, for the American dream.

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Family Style: Memories of an American From Vietnam by Thien Pham 

Many of Thien’s most important memories are connected to food, both the food that sustained his family when they were refugees and the food that they savored in America. This book is a poignant look at the refugee experience, with memories of food being milestones along the way. 

Family Style is a great choice for fans of other graphic-format memoirs about cultural / family differences, like Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a Wuhanese American by Laura Gao. Give this book to teens who enjoy true stories about immigrants, families, food, and the search for the American Dream.
