Ginseng Roots: A Memoir

"Craig Thompson’s follow-up to his award-winning (and still controversial) graphic memoir, Blankets, is an expansive look at the global ginseng trade. It was an accidentally timely release – Ginseng Roots came out while the United States’ trade relationship with China was dominating the news cycle. But as deeply researched and dense as the book is, it’s also a personal memoir about why we work, and why we bother trading stories with each other through the things we make."
