Synopsis
Originally published as a five-part comic book series, this gritty, broadly but evocatively sketched black-and-white graphic novel chronicles the experiences of Carla, a naïve, aimless American who decides to discover her Mexican roots. Her dream of immersing herself in the beauty of Mexican culture brutally shatters when she drifts into a circle of radicals and criminals.

Industry Reviews
"An emotional, beautifully crafted odyssey that not only utilizes but transcends both navel-gazing self-discovery and backpackers-in-peril clichés."
(01/01/2006)
"What really makes the story compelling, though, is Abel's sensitivity to character and dialogue--Carla is the narrator, but she's hardly a heroine, and the way crucial meanings are lost in translation ratchets up the dramatic tension." (starred review)
