Story & Creative Vision

Forget My Name is widely considered Zerocalcare’s most mature and introspective work, exploring the complexities of family legacy and the transition into adulthood.

• The Narrative: Following the death of his grandmother, Zerocalcare is forced to confront a family secret that has been hidden for generations. As he sifts through memories and old photographs, the story shifts between the gritty reality of his neighborhood in Rebibbia and a fantastical world of anthropomorphic animals and childhood fears.

• Distinctive Style: Zerocalcare is famous for his frantic, high-energy art style and his "Armadillo" conscience. His ability to move from laugh-out-loud humor to heartbreaking sincerity in a single page has made him a cultural phenomenon.

• A Modern Classic: Originally published in Italy as Dimentica il mio nome, this English translation brings his unique voice to a global audience, capturing the universal struggle of finding one's identity within a family’s shadow.
