English(English)

The Waiting is a complex graphic novel. The tale is partly inspired by a real-life experience: late in life, the author’s own mother explained that she had a sister from whom she was separated while fleeing the advancing communist army in Pyongyang in 1950. Gendry-Kim uses that still-aching family wound to tell of relationships that are both like and unlike those experienced by her own family.
