Kim-Jandry Keumsook's graphic novel tells the story of Lee Okseon, a Korean woman sold to another family as a child and forced into sexual slavery at a Japanese comfort station. Along with this young girl, we find ourselves on the brink of World War II and experience the horrors of the Japanese occupation that it inflicted on ordinary Koreans.

'Grass' is a powerful anti-war novel that uncompromisingly exposes the horrific cost of war and affirms the importance of peace. It was named one of the best comics of 2019 by The New York Times and The Guardian, and has won the Harvey and American Library Association awards, as well as the Big Other Book Award, Cartoonist Studio Prize, and Krause Essay Prize.
