Sempé in New York

Jean-Jacques Sempé, the beloved French cartoonist, brings his signature watercolor charm to this single-volume collection originally published by Diogenes Verlag in 2009. The book gathers his whimsical, wordless vignettes of New York City, capturing the city's bustling streets, quiet parks, and eccentric inhabitants with gentle humor and nostalgia. A testament to Sempé's enduring ability to find poetry in everyday life, this series matters as a concise yet profound visual love letter to the metropolis from one of Europe's most celebrated illustrators.
