Paroles de parloirs #[nn]

Published by Delcourt in 2003, Paroles de parloirs opens with a quietly devastating cover: a woman and a small child, hand in hand, approach the imposing stone gateway of what appears to be a prison. The muted blue-grey palette and the figures' backs turned to the viewer give the image a solemn, deeply human weight. Part of the Ancrages collection, this volume promises a grounded, emotionally honest look at the world of prison visiting rooms and the families who navigate them.
