SYNOPSIS
An international event, this highly anticipated graphic novel – the first in nearly fifteen years from the best-selling, award-winning author of Blankets and Habibi – takes us on an extraordinary journey.
‘It just blew me away.’ JEFF LEMIRE
‘Beautiful.’ ROLLING STONE
‘A masterpiece.’ JOE SACCO
FROM THE BESTSELLING, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BLANKETS AND HABIBI
From the celebrated author of Blankets and Habibi comes a long-awaited new graphic memoir. Ginseng Roots follows Craig and his siblings, who spent the summers of their youth weeding and harvesting rows of coveted American ginseng on rural Wisconsin farms. Following an injury, Craig rediscovers this herb, central to Chinese medicine, and embarks on an extraordinary journey from his midwestern roots to north-east China.
Suffused in a vibrant earthy palette, Ginseng Roots masterfully blends memoir, travelogue and cultural history to explore and illuminate ideas of creativity, doubt, healing and family.

REVIEWS
Do Wisconsin ao nordeste da China
João R. Marques
Craig Thompson recorda os verões da infância - passados a apanhar raízes de ginseng - com os irmãos. Entrelaça a juventude perdida com 300 anos da história de comércio global de ginseng e as muitas vidas que isso uniu: desde caçadores de ginseng, na antiga China, a lavradores industriais e apanhadores migrantes, no Midwest americano. Passando pela sua própria família, ainda a recupera dos traumas de um amargo passado. Muito provavelmente, a obra-prima do Craig Thompson.
