Monk! Thelonious, Pannonica en de vriendschap achter een muzikale revolutie #[nn]

Youssef Daoudi's Monk! arrives in 2024 as a graphic biography exploring the friendship between jazz pianist Thelonious Monk and Pannonica de Koenigswarter — described by poet Saul Williams on the cover itself as "the book I never knew I was waiting for." Daoudi's cover art is striking in its economy: a suited figure reaches upward in a moment of kinetic, almost dance-like movement, one hand extending toward a delicate butterfly that floats just out of reach, rendered in bold ink with a spare palette of black and tan. With Daoudi serving as writer, penciler, inker, and colorist, this is a deeply personal artistic vision of a musical revolution and the unlikely bond at its heart.
