L'histoire d'une huître, ou comment j'ai failli rater ma vie sexuelle #[nn]

Published by La Musardine in 2021, this French graphic novel by Cualli Carnago announces its subject with playful boldness right on the cover — a central female figure posed in the style of Botticelli's Venus, rising from an open shell, surrounded by stylized vulva motifs rendered in deep red against a rich navy blue. The subtitle ou comment j'ai failli rater ma vie sexuelle ("or how I almost botched my sex life") sets a tone that's candid, self-deprecating, and refreshingly personal. It's a visually witty package that signals an honest, unabashed exploration of sexuality and self-discovery.
