Description
La Perdida by Jessica Abel is a gripping tale of self-discovery set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexico City. Carla, an American woman estranged from her Mexican heritage, arrives in the city with a desire to "find herself". She crashes with a former lover, Harry, who introduces her to his world of Anglo expats and drinking traditions inspired by William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. As Carla navigates this new world, she meets a cast of characters who challenge her perceptions and push her towards her own path. But when she catches the eye of a charismatic figure with ties to the city's underworld, her life becomes increasingly complicated. Through her journey, Carla must confront the consequences of her choices and the irreparable damage caused by her willful innocence. Jessica Abel's evocative black-and-white drawings bring the city's past and present to life, weaving together Carla's story against the legacies of Frida Kahlo and other cultural icons. A story about finding oneself through getting lost, La Perdida is a thought-provoking exploration of youthful desire, identity, and the search for authenticity.
