Description

The senselessness of life. The meaninglessness of death. Those moments where you murder someone in cold blood for no particular reason. Hope you like existential stuff. Because Ernest Heminway and Albert Camus sure do, as we talk about in this mega-stuft episode of none other than ..... THE BOOKENING.

Aurea no estaba hablando de Pedro Ajás sino de Charlotte, la protagonista de "El Violín Negro" una historia gótica-fantástica que pareciera la última colaboración entre Emily Brontë -Cumbres Borrascosas- y los hermanos Grimm. Platicamos sobre la importancia de la "autoconclusividad" en cómics, específicamente en lo que se hace en México, sus decisiones para enmarcar la historia del Violín Negro, la importancia del color en su narrativa, las hadas y su trascendencia a nivel personal para Aurea y en general sobre el cómo y el porqué dedicar dos años a contar esta historia. Acompáñenos a celebrar el arte de Aurea. Además! ¿Todos los autores de cómics en México están obligados a producir narrativas de carácter político-social?
