Descrizione
Saghar is the author and protagonist of this graphic novel, which represents her extraordinary debut in the world of comics alongside Lelio Bonaccorso, an artist who is always accurate and sensitive. It is the story of an Italian girl who lives in Milan, but cannot – and does not want to – deny her Persian roots. The news of what happens in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini combines with Saghar’s personal and family memories, to lead her on a journey to a distant land and within herself. In search of an identity, a role and a social responsibility. “My second generation” addresses, alternating dramatic moments with poetic and ironic passages, very current themes today, to arrive at a universal reflection on the condition of women, not only in Islam. Saghar is an Italian girl. Saghar is from an Iranian family. Are her origins a gift, a burden or a challenge? How will she find her place in the world?
