La Garden Party #[nn]

Adapted from Katherine Mansfield's celebrated short story by Thierry Bouűaert, this French-language graphic novel presents a haunting, delicately rendered pencil portrait of a young woman against a soft chartreuse background — her expression poised somewhere between composure and unease. Bouűaert's restrained, sketch-like linework gives the cover an intimate, almost literary quality that feels perfectly suited to Mansfield's world of quiet social tensions. Published by Soleil's Quadrants imprint in 2011, it's a thoughtful meeting of literary adaptation and understated visual art.
