Description

A celebrated masterwork shimmering with vulnerability from one of alt-manga's most important female artists. <br><br> "Now that we've woken from the dream, what are we going to do?" Chiharu thinks to herself, rubbing her husband's head affectionately. <br><br> Set in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Tokyo, Murasaki Yamada's Talk to My Back (1981-84) explores the fraying of Japan's suburban middle-class dreams through a woman's relationship with her two daughters as they mature and assert their independence, and with her husband, who works late and sees his wife as little more than a domestic servant. <br><br> (Source: Drawn & Quarterly)
