De kleuren van de brand

Based on Pierre Lemaitre’s acclaimed novel, this 2021 graphic adaptation from Scratch Books brings the story of a woman’s fierce struggle for independence in 1920s Paris to vivid, painterly life. Christian De Metter both writes and paints the visuals, capturing the era’s opulence and emotional turmoil in a single, self-contained volume. A striking entry in the European graphic novel tradition, it distills a complex literary work into a powerful visual experience.
