Dark Horse is proud to
announce Two Brothers, the latest collaboration between Brazilian
siblings Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá. Guaranteed to delight and astound, Two
Brothers gives readers a deeply moving reading experience in the spirit of
the twins’ previous books De:Tales and Daytripper.
Twin brothers Omar and Yaqub may share the same features, but they could
not be more different from one another. And the possessive love of their
mother, Zana, stirs the troubled waters between them even more. After a
brutally violent exchange between the young boys, Yaqub, “the good son,” is
sent from his home in Brazil to live with relatives in Lebanon, only to return
five years later as a virtual stranger to the parents who bore him, his
tensions with Omar unchanged. Family secrets engage the reader in this
profoundly resonant story about identity, love, loss, deception, and the
dissolution of blood ties.
Set in the port city of Manaus on the riverbanks of the Amazon, Two
Brothers celebrates the vibrant life and diversity of Brazil. Based on a
work by the acclaimed novelist Milton Hatoum, Two Brothers is stunningly
reimagined by the award-winning graphic novelists Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.
Two Brothers will be in stores this October 27, 2015.
