| Summary: | Using the vivid, yet prievously undocumented, memories of Miguel Ruiz, a Spanish veteran exiled in France, Twists of Fate is a graphic novel exploration of WWII through an international lens. Ruiz was a member of 'La Nueve', a company of soldiers that went straight from fighting for their homeland in the Spanish Civil War to a globe-spanning conflict. A necessary and timely look into what we remember and why he forget, Twists of Fate blends compassion, humanity, and sensitivity against a backdrop of horror and grief, in an ode to those who bravely stood up to, and beat back, violent fascism. |
