Back in 1984, a rebellious,17-year-old, punked-out Ulli Lust set out for a wild hitchhiking trip across Italy, from Naples through Verona and Rome and ending up in Sicily. Twenty-five years later, this talented Austrian cartoonist has looked back at that tumultuous summer and delivered a long, dense, sensitive,and minutely observed autobiographical masterpiece.
Miraculously combining a perfect memory for both emotional and physical detail with the sometimes painful lucidity two and half decades’ distance have brought to her understanding of the events, Lust meticulously shows the who, where, when, and how (specifically, how an often penniless young girl can survive for months on the road) of a sometimes dangerous and sometimes exhilarating journey. Particularly haunting is her portrait of her fellow traveler, the gangly, promiscuous devil-may-care Edi who veers from being her spunky, funny best friend in the world to an out-of-control lunatic with no consideration for anything but her own whims and desires.
Universally considered one of the very finest examples of the new breed of graphic novels coming from Europe, Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life won the 2011 Angouleme “Revelation” prize, and Fantagraphics is proud to bring it to English speaking readers.
1984年，叛逆的17歲少年烏利·魯斯特(Ulli Lust)開始了一場橫穿意大利的瘋狂搭便車之旅，從那不勒斯經(jīng)過維羅納和羅馬，最終抵達(dá)西西里島。25年后，這位才華橫溢的奧地利漫畫家回顧了那個動蕩的夏天，并創(chuàng)作了一部長篇、密集、敏感、細(xì)致的自傳體杰作。
《欲望》奇跡般地結(jié)合了對情感和身體細(xì)節(jié)的完美記憶，以及25年的距離所帶來的對事件的有時痛苦的清醒的理解，細(xì)致地展示了誰，何地，何時以及如何(具體來說，一個經(jīng)常身無分文的年輕女孩如何在路上生存幾個月)，有時危險，有時令人興奮的旅程。尤其讓人難以忘懷的是她對同路人的描繪，瘦長、亂、不顧一切的Edi，從她在世界上勇敢、有趣的最好朋友，變成了一個失去控制的瘋子，除了自己的奇思妙想和欲望，什么都不考慮。
《今天是你余生的最后一天》被普遍認(rèn)為是來自歐洲的新一代漫畫小說的最好例子之一，獲得了2011年安古蘭漫畫“啟示”獎，fantgraphic很自豪地將它帶給英語讀者。
