Umma’s Table by Yeon-Sik Hong and released in English by Drawn Quarterly tells a poignant tale all too familiar in a palatable way that makes it fresh. It has always been part of life for the younger generation to see their parents, who had always been the care-givers, come into the stage of life needing care, but it is especially seen today worldwide as the collective post-war generation grows older. Many nations are seeing the surge in young people coming up, but the older folks do not simply disappear. They fade in a way that changes all of us when we recognize it.
