Goodbye Ceausescu #[nn]

A backpacker stands front and center on this striking cover, rolled sleeping mat strapped to a loaded pack, gazing up at a star-crowned silhouette of Ceaușescu's collar and lapels looming overhead against a dark, starry sky — while a Romanian cityscape of industrial buildings and an Orthodox church spreads out behind him. The subtitle promises "un road-trip documentaire dans la Roumanie post-communiste," and creators Romain Dutter, Paul Bona, and Bougé deliver exactly that atmosphere: a journey through a country still living in the long shadow of its communist past. Published by Steinkis in 2021, this is a thoughtful, visually confident graphic travelogue that invites readers to explore post-Ceaușescu Romania street by street.
