Executed in stunning watercolors and broken down into five chapters (set in Italy, Norway, Egypt, and Italy again), \u003ci\u003e5,000 Kilometers Per Second\u003c\/i\u003e manages to refer to Piero and Lucia’s actual love story only obliquely, focusing instead on its first stirrings and then episodes in their life during which they are separated—a narrative twist that makes it even more poignant and heart-wrenching. \u003ci\u003e5,000 Kilometers Per Second\u003c\/i\u003e is another delicate graphic-novel masterpiece from Europe.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManuele Fior\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Cesena (Italy) in 1975 and currently lives in Venice.
