Invisible Ink: My Mother's Secret Love Affair with a Famous Cartoonist

Resumen del libro

This is the renowned cartoonist's first long-form graphic work a 200-page memoir that poignantly recounts his mother s secret life, which included an affair with a cartoonist and crime novelist in the 1950s and 60s. Invisible Ink unfolds like a detective story, alternating between past and present, as Griffith recreates the quotidian habits of suburban Levittown and the professional and cultural life of mid-century Manhattan in the 1950s and 60s as seen through his mother s and his own then-teenage eyes. Griffith puts the pieces together and reveals a mother he never knew."
