Sartre #[nn]

A minimalist yet expressive portrait of Jean-Paul Sartre — rendered in delicate pencil strokes, with his unmistakable round glasses dominating the composition — sets the tone for this graphic biography from Dargaud. Writer Mathilde Ramadier and artist Anaïs Depommier bring the existentialist philosopher's life and ideas to the comics page in what promises to be a thoughtful, visually elegant exploration. Published in 2015, it's a quietly ambitious work that invites readers to sit with one of the twentieth century's most provocative minds.
