What are the most important days of your life?
Meet Brás de Oliva Domingos. The miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer, Brás spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author himself—writing the end of other people's stories, while his own has barely begun.
But on the day that life begins, would he even notice? Does it start at 21 when he meets the girl of his dreams? Or at 11, when he has his first kiss? Is it later in his life when his first son is born? Or earlier when he might have found his voice as a writer?
Each day in Brás's life is like a page from a book. Each one reveals the people and things who have made him who he is: his mother and father, his child and his best friend, his first love and the love of his life. And like all great stories, each day has a twist he'll never see coming...
In Daytripper, the Eisner Award-winning twin brothers Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá tell a magical, mysterious and moving story about life itself—a hauntingly lyrical journey that uses the quiet moments to ask the big questions.

Daytripper es una linda novela gráfica que podría ser mucho mejor si tuviese menos aspiraciones. Se notan demasiado los esfuerzos de los autores por dejar alguna frase subrayable, alguna reflexión reveladora, lo cual termina redundando en un abordaje trillado de cuestiones existenciales como el amor, la familia y especialmente la muerte. No soy particularmente fan del ‘show, don't tell' pero creo que en este caso le hubiera sumado mucho a la obra.
Dicho esto, también es cierto que -quizás recurriendo a algunos golpes bajos efectistas- Daytripper es efectiva a la hora generar sensaciones en el lector. Tiene también un muy buen comienzo (el primer capítulo es impactante para el lector deprevenido, tal fue mi caso) y un buen final: los últimos dos capítulos son particularmente buenos, aún a pesar de lo ya dicho en el primer párrafo.
A nivel visual, es un estilo muy ameno, colorido, y con buen uso de las tonalidades de acuerdo a la escena.
Vale la lectura.
The structure of showing the same man's death at different points in his life is an interesting one. It's enough to make an engaging and possibly thought-provoking book.
And in some cases, the right people can run with that concept and turn it into a brilliantly profound work.
The art, first off, is great. It evokes emotion and life, and it's just plain nice to look at. The story, the thoughts on life and death and stories themselves, that's what makes this graphic novel a brilliant piece of fiction. It's powerful, aided by pitch-perfect writing. It's memorable and beautiful and is as hopeful as it is melancholy. I loved this book.
MUITO MUITO BOM!!
Primeiro: são brasileiros! Não imaginava até ler de capa a capa cada linha da história.
A arte é maravilhosa e a história, que te transpõe para os lugares pelas cores e imagens simples, fazem com que tudo seja muito fácil de se sentir.
outro fato curioso é o traço dos irmãos ser muito parecido o que torna a composição de arte uniforme.
Por não ser na linha de tempo normal, prende ainda mais a atenção. Só no final que entendemos o que realmente acontece com Brás.... E sua história.
Patrick R. disse que está história tratava da vida e de sentimentos e coisas para pensarmos. Não posso concordar mais.
