Description: Now available in English, this internationally acclaimed graphic novel biography of iconic artist Frida Kahlo recounts her life's journey in a first-person story illustrated with striking reimaginings of her famous paintings.
Brief description: Achy Obejas edited and translated the anthology Havana Noir and has since translated Junot Díaz, Rita Indiana, Wendy Guerra, and many others. She currently serves as the director of the MFA in Translation Program at Mills College.
Review Quotes: Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way--in fleeting but significant moments--to Kahlo's artistic triumph.-- "Publisher's Weekly" (8/20/2018 12:00:00 AM)
