Mongrel

Towards the end of 2017 Sayra Begum sent Knockabout a sample of her autobiographical graphic novel, Mongrel. This work was the best unsolicited manuscript they have seen for a very long time. It is rare for a new talent to produce such an ambitious long work.

Sayra is both an accomplished and clever storyteller and an original artist in her layouts and drawing style. The story itself covers matters that are at the heart of our society's current concerns; immigration, racism, mixed heritage relationships and inter-generational strife.

Spre sfarsitul anului 2017, Sayra Begum i-a trimis lui Knockabout un esantion din romanul ei grafic autobiografic, Mongrel. Aceasta lucrare a fost cel mai bun manuscris nesolicitat pe care l-au vazut de foarte mult timp.
