I'm a huge fan of memories told through graphic novels. I think it's a perfect medium for that, especially when it has a political/historical event around it (like the famous Maus and Persepolis). I don't know why, it just works so well.
What I liked about Grass the most is how it stays away from graphic depictions of the violence, how it doesn't sensationalises the horrifying life of "comfort women". And what I loved even more about Ok-Seon Lee's story is that in spite of all the horrors and pains she continues to fight.
It's not an easy read by any means. And naturally I cried by the end of it (and I was on the plane).
The landscape panels, the grass and flowers panels were amazing. I think the choice of ink for the art was great and I'm now curious to see the author's other works.
