They have been dreaming of it since the time! Today, it’s done, they are finally in New York… They are Dani and Zoé, two childhood friends. She’s Fiona, an acquaintance!
In the form of a voluminous graphic novel of more than four hundred pages, Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki reform the duo of That Summer for a New York disgression on adulescence. Fans of reduced paginations can rest assured, this page is easy to read as the layout is airy, the graphics fluid and the storyline light.
Those, and especially those who, to celebrate their 20th birthday, will have visited the megacity of the East Coast, with New York with you ringing in their ears, will particularly appreciate this album, the others will probably find it a bit superficial. On the story side, this one takes place in 2009. Hence probably this graphic palette restricted to black, gray and a faded pink which contrast singularly with the luxuriant frenzy specific to the Big Apple, thus probably wanting to imply that time fades slowly this unspeakable period where adolescent dreams will come crashing down on reality.
A gentle and carefree chronicle of those hours when a greasy pizza and a shopping session at St. Mark’s Place were enough to fill a day if not a life, New York, New York nicely occupies a moment, but will quickly be forgotten at the end. the opposite of the memories that he may have brought back.
