Graphic novels are often underrated with the stereotypical misnomer of "comic books." This dismissal, however, is unwarranted as proven by Vanni. The authors and illustrators interweave a poignant narrative of tragedy and revivalism set against the backdrop of the Tamil genocide undertaken by the majority Sinhalese in Sri Lanka post-2004. What makes Vanni so compulsive is that alongside a moving story, it also visualizes that very story. The almost cartoonish drawings reflect an innocence which by the conclusion is phased into innocence lost as the protagonists go through hell and back. This is a graphic novel of historic proportions. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In the tradition of Maus, Persepolis, Palestine, and The Breadwinner, Vanni is a graphic novel documenting the human side of the conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the "Tamil Tigers." Told from the perspective of a single family, it takes readers through the otherwise unimaginable struggles, horrors, and life-changing decisions families and individuals are forced to make when caught up in someone else's war. Set in Vanni, the northern region of Sri Lanka that was devastated by the civil war, this graphic novel follows the Ramachandran family as they flee their home after the 2004 tsunami and move from one displacement camp to the next, seeking an ever-elusive safe haven and struggling to keep each other alive. Inspired by Benjamin Dix's experience working in Sri Lanka for the United Nations during the war, Vanni draws on more than four years of meticulous research, official reports, and first-hand interviews with refugees. It depicts heroic acts of kindness and horrific acts of violence, memorializing the experiences of the Tamil civilians against the forces that seek to erase their memory. Elegantly drawn by Lindsay Pollock, this exceptionally moving graphic novel portrays the personal experiences of modern warfare, the process of forced migration, and the struggles of seeking asylum in Europe.
