Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a
garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. The story drifts among a grown
woman, her early memories as a child, and the gossamer existence of her
mother. A lyrical entry in the field of graphic medicine, Ephemera is
a story about a daughter trying to relate to a parent who struggles with
mental illness. Gorgeously illustrated in a painted palette of warmy,
earthy tones, it is a quiet book of isolation, plants, confusion,
acceptance, and the fog of childhood. Loewinsohn's debut book is an
aching, meditative twist on autobiography, infusing the genre with an
ethereal fusion of memory and imagination.
