Le masquage est un style visuel, une convention théâtrale et une technique littéraire décrite par le dessinateur Scott McCloud dans son livre L'Art invisible.Masking is commonly used in manga and anime McCloud states that masking "was, for a time, virtually a national style" in Japan. Masking can be found in various media outside of comics, such as animation, picture books and video games (especially visual novels). He further argues that the juxtaposition of iconic characters with detailed backgrounds, characters, or objects can create meaning and strengthen or weaken readers' emotional and psychological connection to certain elements of the graphic narrative. McCloud argues that characters with simple but recognizable designs, which he terms "iconic" characters, allow readers to project themselves into the story by using the characters as a "mask".

The trilogy, however, is more than a journey into the past. Kristin Lavransdatter interweaves political, social, and religious history with the daily aspects of family life to create a colorful, richly detailed tapestry of Norway during the fourteenth-century. “ should be the next Elena Ferrante.” - Slate And the truth is, I’ve always wanted him.
