Het jaar van de olifant #7

The seventh chapter of Willy Linthout's Het jaar van de olifant arrives with a subtitle that says it all — "Euforie." The cover, rendered in spare sketch-lines against a warm taupe ground, shows a rotund, bespectacled figure in a hat tumbling or floating freely through the air, arms outstretched and face lit with a wide, uninhibited grin. It's a quietly striking image that captures a mood of weightless joy, making this 2008 Bries release feel both personal and inviting.
