Roaming by Jillian Tamaki Paperback Book

Roaming by Jillian Tamaki Paperback Book

Spring Break, 2009: Five days, three friends, and one big city.

Roaming marks a remarkable return to the graphic novel genre and a skillful venture into new adult fiction by Caldecott Medal winners Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki.

During an eagerly awaited trip to New York, an unexpected romance ignites between casual acquaintances, disrupting a long-standing friendship. Emotional tensions resonate against the beautifully illustrated backdrop of the city, capturing the essence of a spontaneous queer romance in its early stages. The intricate details of a lively, daunting metropolis are softened by a palette of gentle pastels, as if viewed through the eyes of newcomers. The awe, excitement, and occasional missteps along the journey are depicted with striking authenticity.

Roaming is the third collaboration from the acclaimed duo behind Skim and the Governor General’s Literary Award-winning This One Summer. Rich in mood and atmosphere, this comics team infuses the pages with their lush and exquisite artistry. The Tamakis’ unique and graceful portrayal of an urban paradise gradually revealing its flaws to the rhythm of its visitors is a true masterpiece—one that promises to be a classic for future generations.
