Le collectionneur de briques #[nn]

Pedro Burgos's Le Collectionneur de Briques opens with a quietly absorbing image: a solitary man in a suit pushing a weathered wheelbarrow loaded with bricks, the angular facades of tall urban buildings sketched in the background and a single gull drifting overhead. The restrained palette — warm terracotta against soft pencil-grey — gives the cover an understated elegance that feels both literary and deeply human. Published by 6 Pieds Sous Terre in 2017, this Franco-Belgian release promises the kind of thoughtful, everyday storytelling that rewards a slow, attentive read.
