Španělská epopej sestává ze dvou grafických románů, v nichž Antonio Altarriba ve spolupráci s ilustrátorem Kimem v působivé zkratce zachytil veskrze tragický osud svého otce (Umění létat, 2009) a následně i matky (Zlomené křídlo, 2016). Tyto dva silné lidské příběhy se navzájem doplňují jako rub a líc jedné mince, jejíž ražbu ovšem z obou stran určovaly tytéž dramatické dějinné zvraty. Genialita tvůrců se projevuje v tom, jak rovinu ryze osobního prožívání dokázali propojit s rovinou velkých, neosobních dějin, které až příliš často maří lidskou touhu a snahu vést svobodný, důstojný život. Až příliš často svými poryvy brání člověku v rozletu, strhávají jej na zem, neúprosně mu lámou křídla.

In the twelve unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, the strange is made familiar and the familiar strange, such that a girl growing wings on her legs feels like an ordinary rite of passage, while a bug-infested house becomes an impossible, Kafkaesque nightmare. Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, and unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us.  Mesmerizing, electric, and wholly original, Kim Fu’s Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century blurs the boundaries of the real and fantastic, offering intricate and surprising insights into human nature.

Ein Mann betrachtet einen alten Boxsack, der in seinem Garten an einem Zweig des Kakibaums hängt. Dieses Überbleibsel aus seiner Jugend ist der Ausgangspunkt für die Geschichte seines Lebens, von der High School bis ins Erwachsenenalter. Als Teenager wurde er von seinem Ethiklehrer zu Unrecht bestraft, weil er die herumwirbelnden Blätter vor dem Klassenzimmerfenster beobachtet hatte. Im Boxen findet der wütende junge Mann ein Ventil und einen Weg, sich der Welt zu stellen. Jab, das ist eine abrupt geschlagene Gerade – hier ist es die Titelgeschichte von Un-su Kims erster Kurzgeschichtensammlung. Darin begegnet man faszinierenden Menschen, die auf ihre Art Helden sind, ob nur für einen Tan oder ihr ganzes Leben lang. Un-su Kims Geschichten zeigen die Auswirkungen der Zeit auf Menschen und auf Dinge. Frei von direkter Gesellschaftskritik und unterschwelligen Botschaften schildern sie, wie die Protagonisten ihr Schicksal meistern – oder daran scheitern.
