Crushing - Amours et solitudes dans la ville #[nn]

Sophie Burrows brings a tender, pencil-sketched vision of city life to this Gallimard Bande Dessinée release, subtitled Amours et solitudes dans la ville — loves and solitudes in the city. The cover immerses you immediately in an urban crowd rendered in soft blue-grey tones, where two figures pop with vivid red: a young person with bright red hair and a striped shirt, and nearby a woman in a red jacket, each moving through the throng yet seemingly wrapped in their own private world. It's a quietly poetic image that promises something both deeply human and gently bittersweet about connection and loneliness in 2022's crowded, bustling streets.
