Son cuatro días, de Joan S. Luna y Jordi Pastor
Astiberri has published 'Son cuatro días', a graphic novel where writer Joan S. Luna and artist Jordi Pastor explore the complex process of grieving a friend's suicide. The work combines autobiographical elements with interviews to address the stigma surrounding mental health.
The story follows Joan S. Luna as he confronts repressed emotions following the suicide of his college friend, Ismael, over twenty years ago. Jordi Pastor provides the visual narrative, using a distinct color palette to distinguish between past memories, the present day, and journalistic interviews. This courageous debut serves as a deeply personal examination of guilt, loss, and the difficulty of understanding the decisions of others. It aims to foster dialogue about suicide while honoring the memory of the author's friend.
