Aya is an irresistible comedy, a couple of love stories and a tale
for becoming African. It's essential reading. -Joann Sfar,
cartoonist of The Rabbi's Cat Ivory Coast, 1978. It's a golden
time, and the nation, too-an oasis of affluence and stability in
West Africa-seems fueled by something wondrous. Aya is loosely
based upon Marguerite Abouet's youth in Yop City. It is the story
of the studious and clear-sighted nineteen-year-old Aya, her
easygoing friends Adjoua and Bintou, and their meddling relatives
and neighbors. It's a wryly funny, breezy account of the simple
pleasures and private troubles of everyday life in Yop City.
Clement Oubrerie's warm colors and energetic, playful line connect
expressively with Marguerite Abouet's vibrant writing. This
reworked edition offers readers the chance to immerse themselves in
Abouet's Yop City, bringing together the first three volumes of the
series in Book One. Drawn & Quarterly will release volumes four
through six of the original French series (as yet unpublished in
English) in Book Two. Aya is the winner of the Best First Album
award at the Angouleme International Comics Festival, the
Children's Africana Book Award, and the Glyph Award; was nominated
for the Quill Award, the YALSA's Great Graphic Novels list, and the
Eisner Award; and was included on best of lists from The Washington
Post, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal.
