In Memento Mori- celebrated Finnish graphic novelist Tiitu Takalo chronicles her sudden- unexpected cerebral hemorrhage and the long road to recovery she had to travel. It is a dramatic story about a life turned upside down overnight: a ruptured cerebral aneurysm- the days and nights spent in an intensive care unit- and the long- painful recovery that led the artist to reflect on her life both past and present. Much more than a story of survival- Memento Mori is a philosophical and psychological journey told with exceptional honesty and compassion. A deeply moving and insightful graphic novel from a master of the medium that is also ultimately a celebration of life.
