Episode Notes
I am joined by Gareth Hopkins to review the Italian coming of age graphic novel Forever.
About Gareth:
Gareth Hopkins is an artist and comics creator, best known for his Abstract Comics work. He's probably best known for his abstract autobiographical comic 'Petrichor', as well as the ongoing project 'The Intercorstal'. He's currently working on a short story collection, with sections of the book being released as they're complete - Moon Puke, nothing, A Hill To Cry Home and The Bones of The Sea, among others.

About Forever:
What is this "love" everyone talks about? Viola doesn't yet know. But it is a question she is asking herself more and more, because at her age there are some kinds of problems you feel even in the air that you breathe: your self-image and the way you think others see you, the relationship between you and your body and the other gender, couple issues, the freedom to follow your aspirations, and the need to fit in socially accepted categories. On vacation with her parents, during the idle hours of the afternoon while everyone is sleeping, Viola's encounters and experiences will help her grow as a person and get answers to the hard questions that everyone has to face sooner or later, and she will reshape her identity, in a summer she'll never forget.
Assia Petricelli was born in Naples, Italy, where she still lives today. A creator of varied talents, she has worked on historical documentaries, audiovisual projects, and publications in collaboration with Italian television network Rai and numerous public and private entities, focusing on contemporary history, art, archeology, and matters of gender. Cattive ragazze (Bad Girls) was her award-winning graphic novel debut, alongside artist Sergio Riccardi. In 2020, they came together again for the coming-of-age tale Per sempre (Tunué; Forever, Europe Comics).
Sergio Riccardi was born in Naples, Italy, in 1981. After first working as a set designer for cinema and television, he turned his attention to comics, illustration, and animation. He collaborated with writer Assia Petricelli on the graphic novel Cattive ragazze (Bad Girls), and illustrated Salvo e le mafie alongside writer Riccardo Guido, with both books earning acclaim and awards. He joins the Europe Comics catalog with the coming-of-age story Forever (Tunué), written by Assia Petricelli.
