Quelques pincées de désir #[nn]

A tender embrace takes center stage on this cover from Tapages Nocturnes, as two figures — a dark-skinned woman with voluminous curly hair and a lighter-skinned companion — hold each other within a softly glowing heart motif, rendered in warm pinks and cool teals. Quelques pincées de désir ("A Few Pinches of Desire") brings together the creative voices of Marie Avril, Megan Gedris, Niki Smith, Marine Tumelaire, and Ariel Vittori in what promises to be an intimate, multi-author anthology from 2018. The cover's painterly sensuality and emotional warmth set a quietly inviting tone for this francophone collection.
