Cartoline Da Limón
Ramiro parte dall’Inghilterra per andare a trovare la madre in Costa Rica. Ha in testa un progetto per un libro: ricostruire la storia della sua famiglia, grazie alle vecchie foto che la madre gli ha fatto avere, e intervistando alcuni cugini, ormai anziani. Ben presto si rende conto che il cuore pulsante della sua storia genealogica ruota intorno al contrastato rapporto tra suo nonno Virgilio e il fratello Octavio. Tanto legati quanto diversi, nei racconti dei parenti i due uomini prendono forma davanti a Ramiro, che scoprirà quasi per caso il più nascosto, doloroso e importante segreto della sua famiglia. Edo Brenes costruisce un racconto familiare di una ricchezza e di una delicatezza uniche, destinato a coinvolgere emotivamente chiunque lo legga.

Bons baisers de Limón
De retour chez sa mère, au Costa Rica, un jeune étudiant s'empare d'une boîte de photos anciennes. En fouillant dans les clichés des années 1940, 1950 et 1960, et en interrogeant les témoins de ce passé, il retrace une histoire familiale secrète, nouée autour d'un triangle amoureux entre une jeune fille et deux frères. Les zones d'ombre se combinent avec les lumières de la ville portuaire de Limón sur la côte caraïbe, la nostalgie avec la violence. Dans ce premier roman graphique inspiré par sa propre histoire familiale, Edo Brenes construit un récit d'une grande maîtrise, dans lequel les dialogues et les dessins des photos originales se combinent pour tisser une habile narration entre passé et présent.
