SUMMARY:Tessa Hulls
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle — Feeding Ghosts: A Graphic Memoir by Tessa Hulls \nAn astonishing\, deeply moving graphic memoir about three generations of Chinese women\, exploring love\, grief\, exile\, and identity.  \nIn her acclaimed graphic memoir debut\, Tessa Hulls traces the reverberations of Chinese history across three generations of women in her family. Tessa’s grandmother\, Sun Yi\, was a Shanghai journalist swept up by the turmoil of the 1949 Communist victory. After fleeing to Hong Kong\, she wrote a bestselling memoir about her persecution and survival—then promptly had a mental breakdown from which she never recovered.  \nGrowing up with Sun Yi\, Tessa watches both her mother and grandmother struggle beneath the weight of unexamined trauma and mental illness\, and bolts to the most remote corners of the globe. But once she turns thirty\, roaming begins to feel less like freedom and more like running away. Feeding Ghosts is Tessa’s homecoming\, a vivid\, heartbreaking journey into history that exposes the fear and trauma that haunt generations\, and the love that holds them together.  \nTessa Hulls is an artist/writer/adventurer illuminating the connections between the present and the past. Her graphic memoir Feeding Ghosts explores the reverberations of her Chinese grandmother’s escape from the Communist regime and her subsequent mental illness. Her work addresses racial justice\, the immigrant experience\, generational trauma\, mental health\, the creative process\, and the surprising feminist history of the bicycle.  Her graphic memoir Feeding Ghosts has earned the Pulitzer Prize\, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award\, National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize for First Book\, 2024 Libby Award and was named a Best Book of 2024 by Time\, Forbes\, NPR\, the Minnesota Star Tribune\, LitHub\, Publishers Weekly\, Library Journal\, Chicago Public Library and others.
