Omschrijving
Ginseng Roots Complete HC - Ginseng Roots follows Craig and his siblings, who spent the summers oftheir youth weeding and harvesting rows of coveted American ginseng on ruralWisconsin farms for one dollar an hour. In his trademark breathtakingpen-and-ink work, Craig interweaves this lost youth with the 300-year-oldhistory of the global ginseng trade and the many lives it has tiedtogether—from ginseng hunters in ancient China, to industrial farmers andmigrant harvesters in the American Midwest, to his own family still grapplingwith the aftershocks of the bitter past.
Stretching from Marathon, Wisconsin, to Northeast China, Ginseng Roots chartsthe rise of industrial agriculture, the decline of American labor, and thesearch for a sense of home in a rapidly changing world.
From the celebrated author ofBlankets and Habibi comes a new graphic memoir exploring the class divide,childhood labor, family, and our globalized world, all centered on Wisconsin’s ginsengfarming industry.
Ginseng Roots is Thompson’s most visually arresting work so far.
A sweeping story, gorgeously drawn andbeautifully told, this is Craig Thompson’s masterpiece.
When Blankets first published in 2003, Craig Thompson’s seminal memoir aboutfirst love and faith lost in rural Wisconsin debuted to rapturous acclaim. Thewinner of two Eisner and three Harvey Awards, it is to this day considered oneof the all-time great works of graphic storytelling. Now, in Craig’slong-awaited return to the autobiographical form, comes the story that Blanketsleft out.
