When two cultures collide, the results are explosive--a graphic novel rom-com like no other!Halina Mitchell is half-Filipino, half-American. She's also a native New Yorker--sophisticated, beautiful and confident. On her first visit to the Philippines, she arrives in Manila to reconnect with relatives only to encounter a world of surprises that turn all her assumptions on their head. With the intrepid film critic Cris as her guide, she discovers a Manila that few others get to see!Cris's wry takes on bad movies offer Halina a new lens on the modern world as he whisks her through his hometown at breakneck speed--including a crash course in Manila street life and the thrills and perils of midnight driving. In turn, Halina gives the struggling writer a newfound appreciation for his city.Perfect for fans of "e;opposites attract"e; romances like Fangs and The Prince and the Dressmaker, this book offers a rom-com take on modern life and a touching story of friendship, love and crosscultural (mis)understanding from a renowned graphic novel pioneer. Captured in Arre's distinctive style, Halina Filipina is about finding one's place in the world--or in two worlds at once!
Hello my name is Cecil Hicks, I am just a Black sixty-four-year-old man whös not afraid to share my most private thoughts, risky predicaments and scandalous sexual experiences. All with Caucasian married couples behind closed doors. If you are easily offended by my opinions, then I am going to highly suggest buying this book, and yes I meant buy. I wanted to make sure this memoir was genuinely from the heart. Authenticity is missing these days, and I am bringing it back the only way I know how straight with no chaser. Being involved in the swinging community made me who I am today. I have taken part in massive swinging house parties in the Tampa Bay Florida area. By the way, here are some of my reviews from Barnes and Noble.Being molested by my cousin as a minor made me into this sex craved misunderstood and confused teenager. I was pimping at 19 years old, while keeping a full-time job with a major company. As I child I grew up around negativity, so writing this memoir was a major accomplishment for me. I hope there are parts of my memoir to which you can¿t relate. Because that only means you are as confused as I was and still is.
Graphic narratives are one of the world's great art forms, but graphic novels and comics from Europe and the United States dominate scholarly conversations about them. Building upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a narrow Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focusing on texts from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature is also interested in how these texts engage with, fit in with, or complicate notions of World Literature. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South, and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms. Ultimately, this collection explores the ways that the unique formal qualities of graphic narratives from the Global South intersect with issues facing the study of international literatures, such as translation, commodification, circulation, Orientalism, and many others.
