Les Contes d'Emile et une huître #[nn]

A warm terracotta cover sets the playful tone for this Fluide Glacial collection from Audie, as a big-nosed, cartoon everyman sits at a dining table with a single oyster on his plate — while a vision of a Trojan Horse and a flowing-haired woman shimmers in the background like a daydream. Hugo's cartooning strikes a perfect balance between the absurd and the mythological, promising a set of tall tales with a decidedly irreverent twist. Published in 2008, Les Contes d'Emile et une Huître looks like exactly the kind of witty, good-natured humor that Fluide Glacial does so well.
