The young and restless of Yop City just can't seem to catch a break.
Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie's world-renowned and critically acclaimed series about '80s life in the Ivory Coast continues with Aya: Face the Music. After getting thrown in jail for organizing a student housing protest, Aya must grapple with the aftermath of her decisions. Her friends don't have it much easier. Her classmate Cyprien has been unconscious since police violently broke up their demonstration, and his family can barely scrape together funds for treatment. Her dear friend Albert, last seen passing out at dinner with his family, awakes in the countryside in the clutches of a healer his father has hired to pray his gay away. In France, Albert's ex-paramour Inno agrees to enter into a fake marriage with his friend Sabine with surprising results. And back in Abidjan, embattled starlet Bintou must find a way to capitalize on the public's newfound sympathy after her house is burned down by an angry mob. Translated by Abidjan-based writer and activist Edwige Ren?e Dro, this contemporary classic of Ivorian literature bridges the gap between the past and present, proving that no matter how much things may change, we change with them too.Author Biography
Marguerite Abouet was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, in 1971. At the age of twelve, she was sent with her older brother to study in France under the care of a great uncle. She lives in Romainville, a suburb of Paris, where she works as a legal assistant and writes novels she has yet to show to publishers. Aya is her first comic. It taps into Abouet's childhood memories of Ivory Coast in the 1970s, a prosperous, promising time in that country's history, to tell an unpretentious and gently humorous story of an Africa we rarely see―spirited, hopeful, and resilient.
Cl?ment Oubrerie was born in Paris in 1966. After a stint in art school he spent two years in the United States doing a variety of odd jobs, publishing his first children's books and serving jail time in New Mexico for working without papers. Back in France, he went on to a prolific career in illustration. With over forty children's books to his credit, he is also cofounder of the 3D animation studio Station OMD. A drummer in a funk band in his spare time, he still travels frequently, especially to the Ivory Coast. In Aya, his first comic, Oubrerie's warm colors and energetic, playful line connect expressively with Marguerite Abouet's vibrant writing.- ✔ Authenticity Guaranteed — Verified Designer Goods
