Listen, Beautiful Marcia
A gripping story about a family pushed to the brink.
This English language debut was the 2022 "Fauve d'Or"
winner at the 2022 Angoulême Comics Festival.
Márcia is a nurse in a hospital near Rio and lives in a favela with her
boyfriend, Aluisio, and her daughter, Jaqueline, whom she had very
young with another man. Jaqueline, a troubled young adult, makes
life difficult for her mother and Aluisio and rebelliously hangs out
with members of a neighborhood gang, leading to violent altercations
between mother and daughter. The situation degenerates even
more when Jaqueline is arrested. Márcia and Aluisio, distraught,
realize that Jaqueline is in deeper trouble than they ever thought.
Marcello Quintanilha's first English-language graphic novel
is a tour de force - a tightly wound drama filled with masterful
suspense and a deep love for family and character.
Marcello Quintanilha was born in 1971 outside Rio de Janeiro. His first graphic
novel, Tungsteno, published in 2015, was adapted for film by director Heitor Dhalia.
He has lived in Barcelona since 2002.
