“La Manzana” is a choral graphic novel.
Four of its five chapters narrate in first person, a day in the life of a character who lives in a block in Villa Ortúzar, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires in a gentrification process.
Between stories, interludes unfold about the life of a family of red thrushes.
The last chapter, through an omniscient narrator, tells revealing encounters that the protagonists have with the family of birds.
