Tree of Love

In Tree of Love, Patrick Atangan adapts Vietnamese poetry into a single, luminous graphic novel for NBM, marrying Eastern storytelling with Western comic art. Published in 2005, this standalone volume distills timeless themes of romance and nature into a visual haiku, its watercolor panels echoing the delicate brushwork of silk paintings. Atangan’s sole issue stands as a quiet, elegant bridge between cultural traditions, offering a meditative reading experience that lingers long after the final page.
