El nuevo libro de la aclamada autora de Federico (uno de los mejores c�mics del a�o seg�n The Objective y una de las 30 mejores biograf�as seg�n Elle), «una artista que est� llevando la ilustraci�n a sus niveles m�s altos (Andreu Buenafuente).
«Una gran dibujante y contadora de historias . Elvira Lindo Julio de 2023. La narradora vuelve por primera vez a La Ciudad, donde residi� durante ocho a�os, con la intenci�n de dar forma a un libro sobre aquella etapa de su vida. Es ahora muy distinta de la joven que en 2011 lleg� con mil euros en el bolsillo y con el ingenuo deseo de trabajar «de lo suyo , y el regreso le hace revivir muchas de sus inseguridades. Al tiempo que se reencuentra con los amigos que permanecieron all� y afloran recuerdos felices y no tan felices, se abre paso una nada autocomplaciente reflexi�n sobre la identidad y el desarraigo, la precariedad, los conceptos de «casa y «hogar , «amistad y «familia , y, por fin, sobre el propio dibujo como refugio y tabla de salvaci�n. Navegando entre el pasado y el presente, Una casa en La Ciudad trata de la b�squeda de un lugar en el mundo y la constataci�n de que la vida no es m�s que aquello que transcurre durante ese mismo proceso de b�squeda. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The latest book by the acclaimed author of Federico (one of the best comics of the year, according to The Objective, and one of the 30 best biographies, according to Elle), "an artist taking illustration to its highest level" (Andreu Buenafuente.) "A great artist and storyteller." Elvira Lindo July, 2023. Our narrator returns to The City, where she lived for eight years, willing to shape a book about that moment in her life. She is now very different from the young woman who arrived there in 2011 with a thousand euros in her pocket and the naive urge to work "on her thing." And coming back makes her relive plenty of her insecurities. While reuniting with friends that stayed there and seeing happy and not-so-happy memories surface, a not very self-indulgent reflection breaks through about identity and rootlessness, scarcity, the concepts of "home," "friendship," and "family," and finally, about drawing itself as refuge and lifeline. Cruising from past to present, A House in The City is about searching for your place in the world and the assertion that life is nothing more than what happens during this very quest.Ilu Ros nació en Mula (Murcia) en 1985. Licenciada en Bellas Artes y Comunicación Audiovisual por la Universidad de Granada, no contempló la posibilidad de dedicarse al dibujo y la ilustración hasta que se fue a vivir a Londres en 2011. Ilu Ros encuentra su inspiración en lo cotidiano, las ciudades que visita, las personas que la rodean y las historias que le cuentan, los libros, las películas, los viajes en tren, la música que escucha... Le gusta buscar en las pequeñas cosas algo nuevo (o no tan nuevo) que contar. Ha expuesto en la Galería Miscelanea de Barcelona y ha sido finalista del Poster Prize for Illustration, premio concedido por la Association of Illustrators y el London Transport Museum de Londres. En 2018 publicó su primer libro, Hey Sky, I'm on my Way: A Book About Influential Women (Nueva York, Lit Riot Press). Tras la publicación de Cosas nuestras (Lumen, 2020), elogiado por la crítica, seleccionado para representar la sección española de la Bienal de Ilustración de Bratislava 2021 y por el que fue nombrada Murciana del Año por el diario La Verdad, Lumen publicó en 2021 Federico, una biografía ilustrada de García Lorca que ha sido un fenómeno editorial, alabado unánimemente por la crítica, los libreros y los lectores, galardonada con el Libro Murciano del Año. En 2022 regresó al universo del escritor granadino en Una trilogía rural (Primer Premio al libro mejor editado del año del Ministerio de Cultura), adentrándose en sus tres tragedias más celebradas: Bodas de sangre, Yerma y La casa de Bernarda Alba. Una casa en la Ciudad es su último libro (Lumen, 2025).
