Hierba es la historia real de una superviviente: Lee Ok-Sun, una  joven coreana que durante la Guerra del Pacífico fue explotada como  «mujer de consuelo», el eufemismo utilizado por el ejército imperial japonés para referirse a sus esclavas sexuales. A día de hoy, aquel sigue siendo uno de los capítulos más oscuros del siglo XX.  Partiendo de las entrevistas que mantuvo con Lee Ok-Sun en una  residencia de ancianos, la autora ha narrado el devenir de su infancia en un ambiente extremadamente humilde, vendida sucesivamente a varias  familias adoptivas, hasta que llegó la ocupación japonesa y en 1942 fue trasladada a la fuerza a una base aérea en China. CÓMIC DEL AÑO para The New York Times, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, Library Journal. GANADOR DE LOS PREMIOS: Harvey Award, Krause Essay Prize,  Cartoonist Studio Prize, Big Other Book Award, YALSA Book Award, Prix Bulles dHumanité. FINALISTA DE LOS PREMIOS: Eisner Award, Believer Book Award, LA Times Book Prize, Ringo Award. Grass is a powerful antiwar graphic novel, telling the life story of a Korean girl named Okseon Lee who was forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War―a disputed chapter in twentieth-century Asian history. Beginning in Lee’s childhood, Grass shows the lead-up to the war from a child’s vulnerable perspective, detailing how one person experienced the Japanese occupation and the widespread suffering it entailed for ordinary Koreans. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim emphasizes Lee’s strength in overcoming the many forms of adversity she experienced. Grass is painted in a black ink that flows with lavish details of the beautiful fields and farmland of Korea and uses heavy brushwork on the somber interiors of Lee’s memories. The cartoonist Gendry-Kim’s interviews with Lee become an integral part of Grass, forming the heart and architecture of this powerful nonfiction graphic novel and offering a holistic view of how Lee’s wartime suffering changed her. Grass is a landmark graphic novel that makes personal the desperate cost of war and the importance of peace.
