(4) YA Translated by Laura Watkinson. Schwartz's graphic memoir chronicles his parents' upbringing in East Germany, their growing discomfort with the oppression there, and--after his birth--their struggle to leave. It's an honest family portrait, with poignant details about his father's strained relationship with his parents, staunch communists. Schwartz jumps back and forth in time, sometimes confusingly, but his grim palette of black, white, and gray is fitting.
