Balzac et la Petite Tailleuse chinoise #[nn]

Freddy Nadolny Poustochkine's graphic adaptation of Dai Sijie's beloved novel arrives from Futuropolis in a beautifully composed package. The cover sets the mood with quiet elegance: a young woman's face dominates the foreground with striking serenity, while two figures stand together in a misty rice field behind her, and a reclining figure lost in a book stretches across the lower register. It's a cover that promises both intimacy and landscape — the push and pull of worlds apart.
