Love and life is a struggle in paradise: welcome to Limón.

Ramiro leaves the British drizzle and his beloved fiancé Yoss to investigate his family history back home in Costa Rica. What starts as an innocent fascination with an old family photo album leads to conversations with the older generations and revelations he is not prepared for. This intimate and evocative graphic novel uncovers a family secret, set against the idyllic Caribbean coastline in one of the most beautiful countries in Latin America. Author Edo Brenes weaves together the heartbreaking and humbling stories of three generations.

Edo Brenes is an illustrator and animator from Costa Rica.

Edo has worked as a lecturer at Veritas University and the Cambridge School of Art. In 2018 Edo won the Cheltenham Illustration Award for established artist with the short comic Lunday. In 2019 Edo won the Observer/Cape/Comica Graphic Short Story Prize with a version of what became the first chapter of Memories From Limón.

Scrappy young Jimmy is a pro wrestler in the making, and he’s up for taking on anyone and anything. From his own family, his schoolwork, wild animals and pirates, he’s challenging the world one small fight at a time, but can his hopes and dreams take him all the way to stellar success? Or will his fists finally get him into too much trouble?

Jimmy aspires to be JIMMY RUCKUS, world famous featherweight. But living in his eleven-strong house means that Jimmy is the last thing on anyone's minds. He knows he’s destined for greatness, so he sets off to seek his fortune. What he finds are circus animals, painters, pirates and heavyweight champs, each one challenging Jimmy’s idea of success. By the end of it, Jimmy realises he has to decide whether living life fist first is all it’s cracked up to be.

Lara Kaminoff is a cartoonist and book-slinger living in Seattle with her beloved and their cat, Creeper. She’s inspired by an endless parade of podcasts, the magical world of fungi, brilliant friends, climbable trees, and danceable floors. Right now she’s probably talking too fast, thinking too hard or trying to fix something that ain’t broke.

INTRODUCING TWENTY SEVEN Twenty Seven is a bold, new literary list to celebrate experimental writing in fiction and non fiction. It will launch in 2021 to champion breakthrough voices who have something important to say or a brilliant story to tell. This new list will appeal to a contemporary readership who want to read surprising, provocative and inspiring books. Nobrow has an established visual aesthetic in illustrated books and we’re excited to bring this to the form of the novel by merging with authors who love to experiment with the form of the content.

Twenty Seven’s aim is to become home to the next great writing heroes who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, and find their feet with an independent publisher not afraid to take a risk. Our small and curated list will grab readers and champion dynamic fiction and non-fiction writing.
