This One Summer, Graphic Novel
Autor Mariko Tamaki Ilustrat de Jillian Tamakien Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2014 – vârsta până la 18 ani
Remarcăm în This One Summer, Graphic Novel o abordare profundă a genului 'coming-of-age', care subversează așteptările unei povești tipice de vacanță prin infuzarea unei melancolii vizuale și narative remarcabile. În loc să livreze o aventură estivală ușoară, autoarea Mariko Tamaki și ilustratoarea Jillian Tamaki construiesc o cronică densă a pierderii inocenței. Reținem finețea cu care este redată relația dintre Rose și prietena ei, Windy, în timp ce refugiul lor obișnuit din Awago Beach devine scena unor conflicte domestice și a unor revelații dureroase despre lumea adulților. La intersecția dintre Skim și My Last Summer with Cass, această lucrare combină explorarea identității și a anxietății sociale cu nostalgia verilor petrecute pe malul lacului, evidențiind fragilitatea prieteniilor din perioada adolescenței. Stilul artistic este un element distinctiv: ilustrațiile monocrome, realizate într-o nuanță specifică de albastru închis, capturează perfect atmosfera umedă și toridă a plajei, dar și izolarea interioară a personajelor. Față de lucrările sale mai recente, precum Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass sau incursiunile în universul DC, Mariko Tamaki revine aici la o proză introspectivă, unde ritmul este dictat de stările emoționale și de observațiile tăcute ale protagonistei. Experiența de lectură este una de acumulare, unde micile detalii cotidiene — o revistă răsfoită, o ceartă auzită prin pereții subțiri ai cabanei — construiesc o tensiune psihologică autentică.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Ina Fabian a dat nota:
Now this one was a different graphic novel for me. The story was more about the characters and their relationship. A slice of life, with problems and how we deal with them. But while reading it, I felt the story could have gone anywhere. Each character had his story in the book that was revelead in the end. What I loved the most were the beautifully one-color illlustrations, very detailed for the story, for people’s reactions and behaviour. The illustrations felt more natural and real this way, making me enjoy the story more.

Despre autor
Mariko Tamaki este o scriitoare canadiană de renume, stabilită în California, cunoscută pentru versatilitatea sa în literatura pentru tineri și benzi desenate. S-a impus în peisajul literar prin romane grafice premiate precum This One Summer, Graphic Novel și Skim, ambele realizate în colaborare cu verișoara sa, Jillian Tamaki. Opera sa variază de la narațiuni introspective despre identitate și sexualitate, cum este Luisa, până la scenarii pentru universuri celebre precum Batman sau Harley Quinn. Stilul ei se distinge prin atenția acordată vocii autentice a adolescenților și prin explorarea nuanțată a relațiilor interumane.
Recenzii
""This One Summer" teeters on the fault line of preadolescence, as cozy childhood naivety washes away to reveal the dark complexities of adult life. Jillian Tamaki might be the best illustrator in the entire biz - her drawings are immersive, sensual and overwhelmingly beautiful. A magic synergy is kindled when paired with the storytelling of her cousin Mariko, who implements the best elements of graphic novels, manga, bande dessinee and modern literary prose to awaken a world of sophisticated naturalism. I loved it."
-- Craig Thompson
"Jillian's art is simply gorgeous, and the perfect companion to the beautiful--and sometimes painful--truth behind Mariko's every word."
-- Stephanie Perkins
""This One Summer" is so vivid and beautifully told, that I saw, heard, and "felt" every moment. This tender and oh-so-true story of one girl's pivotal summer is a stand-out."
--Deb Caletti
"I just want to live forever in the pages that Mariko and Jillian create. Exquisite, subtly layered storytelling of both words and art, and a punch when you least expect it--a rare treasure of a book, like a summer caught and pressed between the pages."
--Svetlana Chmakova
I read this in July, and spent the rest of the summer thinking about it. Every bike on a dusty road and gleefully swimming kid made me think about this book, and how it so eloquently and perfectly captures the feeling of summer-- slow, lazy and somehow hectic and astounding and full-- that we spend every year after the age of 18 trying to remember.
--Lucy Knisley
"This One Summer" is a precisely written, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the moment when childhood tips over into adolescence. For the second time the Tamakis have raised the bar for young adult comics.
