Fábio Moon

Book - 2014

"The Eisner Award winning DAYTRIPPER follows Bras de Olivias Dominguez during different periods in his life, each with the same ending: his death. DAYTRIPPER follows the life of one man, Bras de Olivias Dominguez. Every chapter features an important period in Bras' life in exotic Brazil, and each story ends the same way: with his death. And then, the following story starts up at a different point in his life, oblivious to his death in the previous story-and then also ends with him dying again. In every chapter, Bras dies at different moments in his life, as the story follows him through his entire existence-one filled with possibilities of happiness and sorrow, good and bad, love and loneliness. Each story rediscovers the many var...ieties of daily life, in a story about living life to its fullest-because any of us can die at any moment"--

Review by Library Journal Review

In this beautiful deluxe edition of Daytripper, renowned graphic novelist twin brothers Ba and Moon (Casanova) explore death by exploring life. Aspiring novelist Bras de Oliva Domingos is surrounded by death as an obituary writer describing the passing lives of strangers, while he struggles to define his own existence. Bras's story is presented as pivotal events: childhood vacations, lackadaisical relationships, blindsided by true love, making a family, everlasting friendship, and facing old age, in which each memorable episode comes to completion in his death. The narrative's tone is set by Brazil's beauty and enchantment, perfectly illustrated and reflective of Ba and Moon's love for their home country. The exotic setting plays into Bras's tug of war between his experiences and his acceptance of his own inevitable end. Finally, Bras's life culminates in understanding and acceptance that death based on life, in which the former is affected and dictated by all the uncertainties of the latter, is both heartbreaking and beautiful. Verdict This sturdy hardcover edition is recommended for graphic novel enthusiasts who are ready to sit down for a nice long thoughtful read.-Teresa Potter-Reyes, Helen Hall Lib., League City, TX (c) Copyright 2014.
