BECOMING UNBECOMING
Book ID/图书代码： 08136015B81697
English Summary/英文概要： A serial murderer is at large in West Yorkshire and the police – despite spending more than two million man-hours hunting the killer and interviewing the man himself no less than nine times – are struggling to solve the case.
As this national news story unfolds around her, Una finds herself on the receiving end of a series of violent acts for which she feels she is to blame.
BECOMING UNBECOMING explores gender violence, blame, shame and social responsibility. Through image and text Una asks what it means to grow up in a culture where male violence goes unpunished and unquestioned. With the benefit of hindsight Una explores her experience, wonders if anything has really changed and challenges a global culture that demands that the victims of violence pay its cost.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书以漫画形式讲述了一个有关性别暴力的悲惨故事。故事发生在19世纪70年代约克郡强奸犯追捕时期——
西约克郡的一个连环杀手逃跑了，警察们正在尽全力破案。其实他们已经耗费了200多万个工时追捕杀手，并且已经和杀手本人交谈了9次以上。
随着这条全国新闻慢慢展开，Una发现自己是一系列暴力行为的受害者，而她还觉得这一切都怪自己。
这部作品探讨了性别暴力、指责、羞愧和社会责任的问题。通过图画和文字，Una针对在男性暴力得不到问责和惩罚的文化中成长这个问题进行了拷问。Una探索了自己的经验，不确定改变是否已经发生。她还挑战了要求暴力受害者付出代价这一全球文化。（LYR）

Combining autobiography and social commentary, Una’s Becoming Unbecoming is the latest graphic novel release from Myriad Editions, the Brighton-based publisher whose ever thought-provoking and challenging output continues to underline the unique possibilities of comics as a narrative form.
Set in the 1970s, in the period when police incompetence was ensuring that the serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper was free to commit his crimes, Becoming Unbecoming is a powerful examination of male violence told from both a national perspective and from the very personal experience of the 12-year-old Una.
Make no mistake, this is one of the most important comics works of 2015. Pick it up this week and discover just why I’m quoted on the book’s back cover describing it in the following terms, “Delicate in construction yet uncompromising in message, Becoming Unbecoming is an astonishing testament to the potency of visual metaphor.”
