Acéré comme la dent du serpent #[nn]

The deep amber tones of Thierry Boulanger's cover immediately draw the eye to a solitary child crouched low in tall grass, clutching a small glowing object while a military aircraft streaks across the smoldering sky overhead — a quietly unsettling contrast between innocence and the machinery of conflict. Published by Kotoji Editions in 2011, *Acéré comme la dent du serpent* ("Sharp as the Serpent's Tooth") promises a story as evocative as its striking title. The moody, cinematic composition sets a tone of tension and vulnerability that lingers well after you close the cover.
