De Camille Jourdy me interesa muchísimo cómo, al contrario que la mayoría de autores de cómics, decide que sus historias no traten sobre hechos o personajes extraordinarios sino sobre la suma de vivencias cotidianas que constituyen las vidas anodinadas y costumbristas de la inmensísima mayoría de la humanidad. Me gusta que sus historias incluyan rifirrafes familiares; que sus personajes sean del montón (bajo); que en las conversaciones se hable sobre dinero o cuidados; que la soledad, la mediocridad y la infelicidad planeen sobre sus protagonistas como también planean sobre cualquiera de nosotros, sus lectores. Y todo esto lo cuenta con unos colores vibrantes, preciosos, de una intensidad casi de cuento infantil: y esta dicotomía enriquece mucho la obra porque la vida también es un poco así. The characters and the dialogue were incredibly realistic. Some of the disputes actually made me uncomfortable because of how real they seemed. As usual with Camille Jourdy I loved the colors. Camile Jourdy es una genia y esta novela es un fiel reflejo de su mente cósmica. El dibujo es el más bonito del mundo, hay colores pastel y la tipografía es preciosa. Es, sinceramente, una obra de arte. Me ha gustado aún más que "Las Varamillas" y aún me queda por leer "Rosalie Blum". De verdad, la perspectiva de esta autora es única. No he leído nada parecido a esto. Me encanta.

Camille Jourdy’s marvellous new comic book begins with a train journey: a young woman, Juliette, is leaving Paris, and heading for the small town where she grew up. Exhausted by the city and the seething anxiety from which she has suffered ever since she was a girl, she longs for the awkward embrace of her somewhat complicated family: her divorcee father, now lonely enough to be on the dating apps; her mother, an amateur artist with bohemian leanings who has recently taken yet another younger lover; her older sister, Marylou, who though in possession of both a husband and two small children, is also having a one-day-a-week affair with a man who works in a fancy dress shop (he comes to her for joyful afternoon sex in her greenhouse, disguised as a bear, or a wolf, or a ghost). Juliette, « parisienne coincée » et hypocondriaque, vient se ressourcer quelques jours chez papa - problèmes de boulot ? Crise existentielle, en tout cas, qui se manifeste par un sentiment de vacuité et des bouffées d'angoisse. Sa soeur aînée Marylou a d'autres problèmes : mariée, mère de deux enfants, elle doit ruser pour passer un peu de temps avec son amant. Talking is reserved for when we’re really drunk or high, or about to be murdered or something,” says Sammie of male friendships early in Mattie Lubchansky’s “ Boys Weekend.” It’s a statement that will be cast into relief over the course of the story, which finds the transfeminine Sammie (who, like Lubchansky, uses they/them pronouns) reluctantly joining a bachelor party gone spectacularly bad. By the end of their time on the artificial island El Campo, a sort of near-future Las Vegas where anything goes, Sammie and their former friends have gotten drunk and high, and been about to be murdered together, but talk still comes with only the greatest difficulty — when it comes at all. featured sponsor Vancouver!

Se abordan temas como la depresión, la hipocondría, los laberintos familiares, los secretos y el orgullo. Esta historia demuestra que todos estamos un poco cucús y que el miedo nos paraliza. Hacemos cosas extrañas por temor y no sabemos si es más por pánico por los demás o por nosotros mismos.Jourdy renders these encounters in glorious shades of ripe pink flesh and the deepest green of high summer. depicts a milieu where full-blown depression is seldom more than a frame or two away. Most people look like they’re struggling with their weight; men are disinclined to shave but not quite ambitious enough to grow beards; smoking is seemingly required by law. The place to be, for many, is the local bar. Called Le Tropical, its ambience is as unlike a beach in Tahiti as could be imagined. But it is the neighbourhood nerve centre, practically the only informal gathering place in a setting that otherwise discourages such things. Juliette Le rencontre alors qu'elle erre dans l'impasse où elle a vécu autrefois, même si elle ne s'en souvient pas.
