Hierba es la historia   real de una superviviente: Lee Ok-Sun, una    joven coreana que durante la Guerra del Pacífico fue explotada   como  «mujer de consuelo», el eufemismo   utilizado por el ejército imperial japonés para referirse a sus esclavas   sexuales.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Appeared on best of the year lists from The New   York Times, The Guardian, and more! Winner of The Cartoonist Studio Prize for   Best Print Comic of the Year! Grass is a powerful antiwar graphic novel, telling 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   twentieth-century Asian history.  Beginning in Lee’s childhood, Grass shows the lead-up to the war from a   child’s vulnerable perspective, detailing how one person experienced the   Japanese occupation and the widespread suffering it entailed for ordinary   Koreans. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reservoir Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53708709495084,"sku":"9788418052071","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/4528\/9004\/files\/9788418052071.jpg?v=1786786336","url":"https:\/\/comicsnearme.com\/products\/9788418052071-hierba-grass","provider":"Stuff Your Mom Hates Comics Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
