Ampère #[nn]

A striking yellow-and-black cover sets the mood for this French-language graphic work from Éditions de L'Œuf — the title *Ampère: Divagations d'un trentenaire sans enfant* ("Wanderings of a Thirtysomething Without Children") promises something personal and a little strange. Vincent Normand's cover art pulls you into a cave-like world where a lanky adult figure and a small, glowing toddler navigate swirling, organic surroundings together, the warm golden palette contrasting beautifully with the dark, enveloping textures. At 13,00 EUR, this 2019 release looks like a quietly offbeat meditation on adulthood and the paths not taken.
