Après l'année du crabe #[nn]

A lone figure sits quietly on the cover of this 2017 French graphic novel from Warum/Vraoum, surrounded by a swirling, chaotic mass of blue scribbled lines that feels both overwhelming and deeply personal. Alice Baguet's delicate, spare linework gives the image a vulnerable intimacy — the subtitle En attendant la récidive ("Waiting for the relapse") hints at a story lived close to the bone. At 16,00 EUR, this is the kind of thoughtful, autobiographical-feeling work that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.
