(2) YA Translated by Edward Gauvin. Abirached revisits the Lebanese civil war setting of her previous graphic-novel memoir A Game for Swallows in a loosely connected series of sobering vignettes, each beginning with the phrase "I remember": her family's bullet hole–riddled car, her brother's shrapnel collection, schools used as bomb shelters. Black-and-white geometric illustrations capture both the enormous scale of the war and its personal repercussions.
