Description

In a lonely house by the sea, a woman is haunted by ghosts unseen and memories unspoken.

In the aftermath of a devastating loss, Jlia finds herself living with her unemployed brother Joel in their grandmother's beach house, uncertain of what comes next. Jlia tries to convince her family and friends that she's doing just fine, but when her nascent garden plot is destroyed one night, Jlia becomes obsessed with finding the culprit... A mongoose whose existence no one else seems to believe in.

A powerful tale of grief from one of Europe's most exciting young talents, The Mongoose is a stunning, formally inventive graphic novel in the vein of Nick Drnaso's Sabrina and Richard McGuire's Here.

About the Author

Joana Mosi is an award-winning visual artist and cartoonist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Born and raised close to the sea, Joana has a really hard time sitting still in one place for a long time (which is a problem when your job requires you to spend lots of time at a drawing table) so she ends up traveling a lot, participating in art residencies and comics festivals across the globe. While she's planning her next artistic endeavor, she stays fresh by teaching (and learning from) new generations of creators.
