Requests:  0 Summary:  "Grass is a powerful anti-war graphic novel, offering up firsthand the life story of a Korean girl named Okseon Lee who was forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese Imperial Army during the second World War - a disputed chapter in 20th century Asian history. Beginning in Lee's childhood, Grass shows the leadup to World War II from a child's vulnerable perspective, detailing how one person experienced the Japanese occupation and the widespread suffering it entailed for ordinary Korean folk. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim emphasizes Lee's strength in overcoming the many forms of adversity she experienced. Grass is painted in a black ink that flows with lavish details of the beautiful fields and farmland of Korea and uses heavy brushwork on the somber interiors of Lee's memories. The cartoonist Gendry-Kim's interviews with Lee become an integral part of Grass, forming the heart and architecture of this powerful nonfiction graphic novel and offering a holistic view of how Lee's wartime suffering changed her. Grass is a landmark graphic novel that makes personal the desperate cost of war and the importance of peace."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim [Graphic] Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Gendry-Kim Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList
