However, it wasn't clear what that significance was, and for me, it felt like the use of this major world event in the plot was rather arbitrary and a bit voyeuristic. I feel like this graphic novel was meant to have a deeper meaning that just flew right over my head. While much of the story follows the romantic relationship between Teresa and Ruben, I found the relationship a distraction against the story's clear initial structure (much as Ruben is to Teresa's life), but not quite in a way that is complimentary. m., at the Italian Cultural Institute in Berlin, Manuele Fior, one of the most outstanding contemporary comics authors, presents his new graphic novel Hypericon (Coconino 2022), which tells the delicate love story between Teresa and Ruben in 1990s Berlin.

Schlaflose Nächte, Selbstzweifel und die chaotische Beziehung zu Ruben gestalten die Tage unberechenbar. His illustration work has been featured in The New Yorker, Le Monde, Vanity Fair, Sole 24 Ore, Internazionale, Rolling Stone Magazine, Les Inrocks.

Les escenes íntimes de la relació flueixen amb una bellesa i una naturalitat fascinant, cosa que és comú a les obres prèvies de Fior, però potser en aquesta ocasió gaudim de dos personatges que s'obren més l'una a l'altre, malgrat tot allò que volen amagar. Wenn ich mir aber die restlichen Arbeiten von Manuele Fior so anschaue, glaube ich, dass der Kunststil hier über alles hinwegtröstet. Außerdem trifft sie Ruben, einen etwas verwahrlosten, linken Künstler, der von Zielstrebigkeit nicht besonders viel hält.

Klar, Themen und Settings sind spannend, aber die Charaktere bleiben in diesem eher kurzen Buch zu flach, um sie wirklich lieben lernen zu können.

There’s a lot that is not said on the pages, and while as the reader I can fill in the gaps with a more hopeful take on a tense and manipulative relationship, I feel like Teresa’s journey would benefit from greater nuance prior to the resolution. Ho scoperto che rispetto ad altri lavori di Fior - che io leggo per la prima volta - questa graphic è leggermente inferiore.I did find the flips between Teresa's present and the other archeologist team in the 1920s to be interesting, but it took me reading the synopsis to realize the perspective switch was supposed to be what Teresa reading in her book.

Hypericon’ with story and art by Manuele Fior is a graphic novel that takes place in two distinct times and is distinctly linked. One in which she's a hardworking and high achieving professional in her field; and another in which she's is living in a squat with a man named Ruben after meeting him on her first day in Berlin, and about whom she knows little, other than that his carefree and roaming spirit is the exact opposite of her's. The muted color palleted and movement lines appropriately engage the written story, and I’d say if this was replaced by a different art style I may not have enjoyed the reading experience as much.
