Jeunes - Des nouvelles de la cité #[nn]

A collaborative anthology from La Comédie Illustrée, Des nouvelles de la cité brings together an impressive roster of contributors — Ans, Aubin, Brutus, Céline Chrétien, Thierry Coquelet, Etienne Davodeau, Gate, Philippe Larbier, Sylvain Lauprêtre, Xnass, Olivier Martin, Melaka, Philippe Menvielle, Eric Ormond, Sandrine Revel, Rock, Eric Sagot, Téhem, and Trabosco — for a portrait of urban youth culture in 2004. The cover sets the mood beautifully: a young person in a blue cap reaches up to sketch simple apartment-block outlines directly onto a wall, suggesting creativity and ownership of city space. It's an anthology with real range and heart, and that quietly powerful image promises stories told from the inside out.
