La Fabrique pornographique #[nn]

Part of Casterman's Sociorama series — which adapts real sociological research into graphic form — La Fabrique Pornographique brings Lisa Mandel's pen to Mathieu Trachman's investigation into the adult film industry. The bright pink cover sets a wryly matter-of-fact tone, depicting a nude performer kneeling on set, surrounded by crew members with cameras and lighting equipment, as he asks "C'est bon la lumière?" — a deadpan reminder that even the most unconventional workplaces run on mundane professional logistics. Published in 2016, this is an approachable, seriously-minded look at an industry rarely examined with sociological curiosity and genuine wit.
