Ganador del Pemio Pulitzer por Memoria o Autobiografía

Ganador del Círculo Nacional de Críticos del Libro y del Premio John Leonard al Mejor Primer Libro

Los 100 mejores libros del 2024 de Time Magazine

TRES GENERACIONES DE MUJERES CHINAS EN BUSCA DE RESPUESTAS PARA EL DUELO, EL AMOR, EL EXILIO, LA IDENTIDAD Y EL PERDÓN

CÓMIC DEL AÑO -Time - The Guardian - NPR - Library Journal - Kirkus Reviews - New York Public Library - Indigo

FINALISTA. -Andrew Carnegie Medal. -Nonfiction Kirkus Prize

Tres generaciones de mujeres se reúnen en este cómic autobiográfico de Tessa Hulls: su abuela Sun Yi, una periodista perseguida tras la victoria de los comunistas en China; su madre, Rose, quien cargó durante años con el peso del exilio y el dolor, y ella misma, que al cumplir treinta años decidió rescatar la memoria de su familia.

Después de escapar de Shanghái en 1957, Sun Yi recaló con su hija en Hong Kong, donde escribió unas memorias sobre la persecución sufrida; un relato de supervivencia que se convirtió en un best seller inesperado. Al poco tiempo, sufrió una crisis nerviosa que la llevó a necesitar cuidados de por vida. Tessa creció viendo cómo su madre se ocupaba más de Sun Yi que de ella, y cómo iba oprimiéndolas a las tres la carga de los traumas silenciados.

Tras intentar escapar en vano de su pasado y vivir en los lugares más remotos del mundo, la autora volvió a casa sabiendo que, si quería cerrar sus heridas, debía narrar su historia familiar. Alimentar a los fantasmas es el resultado de diez años de trabajo intenso y profundo, un libro que retrata los mecanismos por los que el duelo se transmite de una generación a otra, y que celebra el amor necesario para mantenerlas unidas.

"Feeding Ghosts reminds us how much the personal is political . . . an audacious, awe-inspiring feat. For me, it was an essential read." ―Ling Ma, author of Bliss Montage

An astonishing, deeply moving graphic memoir about three generations of Chinese women, exploring love, grief, exile, and identity.

In her evocative, genre-defying graphic memoir, Tessa Hulls tells the story of three generations of women in her family: her Chinese grandmother, Sun Yi; her mother, Rose; and herself.

Sun Yi was a Shanghai journalist caught in the political crosshairs of the 1949 Communist victory. After eight years of government harassment, she fled to Hong Kong with her daughter. Upon arrival, Sun Yi wrote a bestselling memoir about her persecution and survival, used the proceeds to put Rose in an elite boarding school―and promptly had a breakdown that left her committed to a mental institution. Rose eventually came to the United States on a scholarship and brought Sun Yi to live with her.

Tessa watched her mother care for Sun Yi, both of them struggling under the weight of Sun Yi's unexamined trauma and mental illness. Vowing to escape her mother's smothering fear, Tessa left home and traveled to the farthest-flung corners of the globe (Antarctica). But at the age of thirty, it starts to feel less like freedom and more like running away, and she returns home to face the history that shaped her family.

Extensively researched and gorgeously rendered, Feeding Ghosts is Hulls's homecoming, a vivid journey into the beating heart of one family, set against the dark backdrop of Chinese history. By turns fascinating and heartbreaking, inventive and poignant, Feeding Ghosts exposes the fear and trauma that haunt generations, and the love that holds them together.
