Recreating the "unknown" Szymborska, seeing the turbulence and exuberance of the poet's life
◆"My clothes are very simple and my shoes are a bit shabby, but I am very happy. Today I am getting married to Adam." The story begins in 1948 when Szymborska married the poet Adam. The newlyweds settled in the "Literature House" and got to know the most representative thinkers and writers of the time. The young Szymborska has already shown her talents in the literary world. "Although the space is very small, I write a lot." Her hands not only hold pens, but also scissors to make collages.
◆In an era of good and bad, light and shadow, some things seem difficult to change, such as "In the field of bureaucracy and queuing, our country still leads the world." Some things have to change, such as ending marriages, and being criticized in literature due to political factors Magazine fired. However, Szymborska seems to be good at facing the turbulence brought about by fate. She said, "The nature of human beings is born to be sad. I am waiting for this ending, and I am happy for it in advance." Another sentence in the book "Every beginning is just "Sequel. And the book of life always starts from the middle." It reflects her love-at-first-sight encounter with an old acquaintance and her literary honors that attracted worldwide attention in her later years.
◆This book is based on biographies, reports, and interviews, and uses comics, collages, and verses to present Szymborska's life ticker in a fast-paced manner. It's like flipping through a life snapshot, in which you can see Szymborska's feelings, friends, hobbies, writing, work, political stance and award-winning experience. The watercolor comics, as the main line of the narrative, have both the haziness of impressionism and the boldness of expressionism; the sharp and witty black-and-white photography collage has the function of transition. The connection between the two fluently novelizes Szymborska's ordinary and magnificent life trajectory.
◆This book is also intended to contain both fiction and reality. The blending of fiction and reality, the time-shifted background and the author's ingenuity in reassembling the fragments reflect what the poet said at the end of the book: "Truth, please don't pay too much attention to me. Seriously, please be lenient to me." Using biography as a guide The basic graphic novel, although not a copy of reality, is still enough to reflect (or even expand) social and psychological reality. The superposition of biography and creation, the connection between comics and collage, the blending of poetry and life, and the diverse art forms allow this book not only to tell the poet's life with images, but also to highlight poetry, collage, and collage in a small way. Stick to the commonalities between life, life and poetry.
