Pachyderme

Frederik Peeters crafts a quiet, surreal mystery in Pachyderme, a single-volume graphic novel from SelfMadeHero that follows a woman's disorienting drive through a strange, snow-dusted landscape. With Peeters handling both art and story, and Edward Gauvin providing the English translation, the book unfolds as a dreamlike meditation on memory, loss, and the slippery nature of reality. Since its 2013 debut, this slim, evocative volume has stood as a distinctive entry in Peeters's acclaimed body of work, offering a haunting, self-contained journey that lingers long after the final page.
