Ce que je sais de Rokia #[nn]

Quitterie Simon and Francesca Vartuli bring a quietly affecting graphic novel to Futuropolis with this 2024 release. Vartuli's delicate watercolor cover places a young woman in a red hoodie and knit cap at the center, her back turned as she surveys a desolate stretch of sandy ground cordoned off with red-and-white tape — a stilt house and a parked vehicle fading into the hazy background, a lone seagull drifting overhead. The muted palette and contemplative pose set a tone of mystery and longing that feels genuinely hard to look away from.
