Confessions of a Normal Woman

” [L’autrice] was an unknown to me, and I am amazed by his talent and his graphic maturity. It’s an autobiographical story where she talks uninhibited about her sex life, starting from all the shame that has been attached to it since she was a little girl. It’s very funny, there’s a lot of self-mockery, we’re not at all in the book where we expose ourselves – even if, sometimes, we see bits of it! Rather, we come back to the kind of guilt that is attached to sexuality. It’s very well done, the subject is concise, she knows where she’s going graphically. […] I was blown away by this book; he is definitely someone to follow. »

The watermelon
“It’s a very special book, a little UFO, halfway between the children’s album and the book that borrows from the codes of comics. [Il a remporté] the 2021 Governor General’s Literary Award for Youth. For me, it is truly a masterpiece. It’s a children’s book, but just like The little Prince ; there are lessons for everyone, and it is of relevance, in the current days, with all that is happening in Ukraine. This is war seen from the height of children’s eyes. […] And the authors had the intelligence not to camp it in a particular time or in a particular place. It really is great art. »

Zviane
pow-pow
“For me, it’s one of Zviane’s best albums. […] It’s a brick of 500 pages that started from a nightmare she had: she saw two young girls running in a field with a kind of killer robot chasing them, threatening to blow their heads off. […] It unfolds like a choral story, it goes a hundred miles an hour in all sorts of directions… But what’s fabulous with Zviane is that she never gets lost. It’s brilliant, smart. And the little gag what I like a lot is that in the middle, she puts us a few pages of Zen images as an intermission and then we start off again at a hundred miles an hour. »
