Een dierentuin in de winter #[nn]

Published by Casterman in 2009 as part of their Romans line, this Dutch-language edition of Jirô Taniguchi's work presents a quietly compelling cover: a young man in a purple jacket stands hands-in-pockets, gazing upward with a contemplative expression against a spare white background. Taniguchi's clean, expressive linework captures both stillness and inner life in a single figure — a hallmark of his understated storytelling style. The title story, "Een besneeuwde dierentuin," promises exactly the kind of reflective, wintry atmosphere that Taniguchi renders so beautifully.
