本书好评
"It's hard to define Ya-Ya's Sad Story: a deterministic illustrated novel? a morbid graphic novella that challenges the boundaries of illustration and drawing? a dark adventure story for adults? I suppose Pollak will not object to these definitions, but he will want to hover over them and let the reader experience the work in the same sense of fullness and mixing of mediums It was written, or as one of the characters says: 'Things are as they are'.
Ya-Ya is inspired by the worlds of manga and anime, and as such, it is easily seductive to be imagined on the big screen, and even without special effects - is truly frightening. The villain, known as Death, the glorious "evil" (which I think is not really bad - someone said Miyazaki?), steals the show from the rest of the characters. He is a serious pervert who turns his victims into toys. Is there anything frightening then this for all the clown haters? But even to him, the omnipotent one, there are weak points and there are masks he wears, 'each and every one of them is different and special, and I split the pain between them. They are my companions in the long journey. They ease my burden'.
Ya-Ya bursts out of meanings and play havoc with the innocent Disney stories…. the journey ends too quickly and every page so beautiful, childish only for a second, contains 'threatened' that the eye can not be removed from it."
