WALK ME TO THE CORNER - ILLUSTRATIONS, COLOR

Walk Me to the Corner is the new graphic novel by Anneli Furmark, one of the most important voices in Swedish comics. Since his first book published in 2002, she tells stories centered on the intimate and on its characters. Walk me to the corner is - as the protagonists say of history - a sort of "Brokeback Mountain for ladies of a certain age." The main character of the story is Elise, in her fifties, married for more than 20 years old, whose children have grown up and moved away. She suddenly falls madly in love with a woman of the same age, Dagmar, also in a relationship, with who she begins a relationship with. Although their passion is mutual, neither two women are not ready to leave their family. Complications arise when Elise's husband falls in love with a young student and divorces her, while Dagmar refuses to divorce... Through the story of these two women and Elise's questions, Walk me to the corner explores with delicacy and empathy what it means to leave the security of a routine life in your fifties to throw yourself into the unknown.
