Dotter of Her Father's Eyes
Author: Mary Talbot Bryan TalbotPublisher: Yellow Jersey PressCategory: Graphic Novels, Anime & Manga, Graphic Novels, Anime & Manga, Graphic Novels: Literary & Memoirs, Graphic Novels: Literary & Memoirs, Graphic Novels: True Stories & Non-fiction, Graphic Novels: True Stories & Non-fictionBook Format: PaperbackPart personal history, part biography, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes contrasts two coming-of-age narratives- that of Lucia, the daughter of James Joyce, and that of author Mary Talbot, daughter of the eminent Joycean scholar James S. Atherton. Social expectations and gender politics, thwarted ambitions and personal tragedy are played out against two contrasting historical backgrounds, poignantly evoked by the atmospheric visual storytelling of award winning comic artist and graphic novel pioneer Bryan Talbot. Produced through an intense collaboration seldom seen between writers and artists, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes is intelligent, funny and sad - a fine addition to the evolving genre of graphic memoir.
