About this deal

Es una auténtica maravilla esta novela gráfica, la calidad de los dibujos es impresionante, las tonalidades muy agradables y perfectamente ajustadas al texto. Jourdy renders these encounters in glorious shades of ripe pink flesh and the deepest green of high summer. Juliette, « parisienne coincée » et hypocondriaque, vient se ressourcer quelques jours chez papa - problèmes de boulot ? Crise existentielle, en tout cas, qui se manifeste par un sentiment de vacuité et des bouffées d'angoisse. Sa soeur aînée Marylou a d'autres problèmes : mariée, mère de deux enfants, elle doit ruser pour passer un peu de temps avec son amant.

Five of the summer’s best and most daring graphic novels

To take issue with Thomas Wolfe, sometimes you can go home again. Just don’t get your hopes up too high. Et si je vous parlais de Juliette, écrite et dessinée par Camille Jourdy. C'est une merveilleuse BD tout en rondeur, presque en apesanteur. Les couleurs ont quelque chose qui rappelle du pastel. C'est un charme désuet, comme un tableau du Douanier Rousseau... Oh ! Oh ! Se abordan temas como la depresión, la hipocondría, los laberintos familiares, los secretos y el orgullo. Esta historia demuestra que todos estamos un poco cucús y que el miedo nos paraliza. Hacemos cosas extrañas por temor y no sabemos si es más por pánico por los demás o por nosotros mismos.

Pollux est un vieux garçon qui passe son temps au café du coin, qui se laisse aller. Même ses femmes imaginaires l'ont quitté. Camille Jourdy is a writer and illustrator from France. Her other works include graphic novels Rosalie Blum and Les Vermeilles. She works with Moulin Roty, a toy company. ( From Drawn & Quarterly)

The characters and the dialogue were incredibly realistic. Some of the disputes actually made me uncomfortable because of how real they seemed. As usual with Camille Jourdy I loved the colors.

In the broadest terms, Léonie Bischoff’s “ Anaïs Nin: A Sea of Lies” can be read as a comic book biography of its subject. Drawing primarily on Nin’s “ Henry and June” and “ Incest,” it retells the stories of several of her most famous sexual and romantic entanglements. More important, though, it attempts to make sense of Nin’s effort to conceive of herself as a writer, often over the protestations of the men in her life. J'ai quand même bien le droit de te payer des études ! T'es partie de la maison tellement tôt que je ne t'ai jamais rien payé du tout.A regular of the local dive bar, Polux mostly whiles away the hours drifting into the lassitude of drink, spending his days with the occasional hook up and silly bets, seemingly dissolving into a state of permanent ennui. Keep in mind this is very slow paced. It's way more of an immersive experience than it is a plot driven narrative.

Juliette The Guardian raves about upcoming graphic novel Juliette

Juliette ne va pas bien. D'aucuns pourraient dire qu'elle est dépressive, puisqu'il faut étiqueter les gens comme les bocaux de confiture. Elle traîne perpétuellement un air un peu triste, un peu paumé et s'inquiète constamment de son coeur qui bat trop vite. Ou pas assez. Elle décide donc de quitter Paris pour rentrer passer un peu de temps chez son père, sorte de Pierrot lunaire cynique et solitaire, rendu morose par un divorce difficile.

Her sister, a caregiver and mother of two, is carrying on an elaborate affair with a man from a costume shop. Her parents, separated, are now estranged. Father is sure he’s developing Alzheimer’s, though it’s more likely that he’s simply getting old. Mother, on the other hand, revels in the second act of her life as a free woman, an artist with a show at their local gallery to prove it. Je suis entrée dans la librairie dans l'espoir d'y trouver "Rosalie Blum" -le film m'a eue!- et j'en suis ressortie avec " Juliette" sous le bras, ne sachant pas trop si j'étais ravie de ce changement imprévue de cavalière ou bien déçue. J'ai appris que parfois, il fallait se méfier des élans lyriques d'un libraire par trop énamouré. Esta obra narra hechos cotidianos y el agitado movimiento que realmente tiene la vida. A pesar de que a veces consideramos que todo es monotonía y rigidez, realmente siempre estamos metidos en cien mil fregaos. Las cosas como son. After some years devoted to producing children´s works, the author in parallel dedicates part of her time to the creation of her most ambitious work: Rosalie Blum. In 2007, the first volume of the trilogy is published in France. And it is finished by the launching of the third volume of the series two years later.
