L’histoire est dure. Lire la réalité de personnes différentes de soi-même est compliqué parfois. Mais c’est important. Être tiraillé comme ça entre deux cultures semble difficile. J’étais prise par l’histoire et la narration, qui je trouve à assez bien retranscrit la difficulté de ce qu’a vécu l’auteure.
Ceci dit, l’art n’est pas ce que j’ai préféré. Le noir et blanc fonctionne bien pour rendre compte des déboires du personnages, mais les visages peu expressifs étaient troublants.

"Je suis métisse" is a graphic novel of fiction, although you can feel that there is an autobiographical part.
it was a very tough, strong and moving story. i found that the drawings represented well this tragic and chaotic side, and i appreciated the pagination (rather unstructured) which freed itself from the standards. it reminded me of Marjane Satrapi's style with Persepolis.
unfortunately, i didn't really like the way the different characters were drawn: i had trouble understanding their emotions because of the faces that remained rather inexpressive, especially for the women...
