Les Carnets du Gueuloir

A single-issue French comic series launched in 2003 by Éditions Petit à Petit, Les Carnets du Gueuloir is a standalone work best known for its association with writer and artist Bruno Bazile. The book adapts Gustave Flaubert's famously vitriolic correspondence, distilling the novelist's caustic observations into a graphic format. It matters as a concise, literary-minded example of the French bande dessinée tradition of adapting classic texts.
