Gramercy Park
Idea & Design Works (Verlag)
978-1-68405-550-0 (ISBN)
a young woman patiently tends to her beehives and seems to be longing for
someone or some thing. In the building across the street lives a kingpin of
crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They
don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them, the void, a
police car, and a private fencedin park under lock and key.
Gramercy Park is one of those rare graphic
novels that defies the obvious and cliched, allowing the reader the
freedom to wander in this mysterious adventure and get lost in the poetic script
of Timothee de Fombelle and embrace the delicate drawings and muted
colors of Christian Cailleaux.
Nominated
for a 2019 Angouleme Award.
Timothee de Fombelle is an award-winning novelist, playwright, and professor of literature in France. He is best known for his novels Tobie Lolness (which has been translated into twenty-nine languages) and Vango, which was chosen to represent France for the IBBY Honour List. He has received about twenty awards, including the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire and the Saint Exupery Prize. Gramercy Park is his first graphic novel. Why comics? "Because I felt that this story needed air, I wanted it to be less of a novel, it was a story based on the silence of these two characters who observe each other," says the writer. Christian Cailleaux is a graphic novelist, illustrator, and extremely poor trumpet player, just like the hero of his graphic novels The Imposters. He is an active traveler, having lived for fifteen years alternately in Africa, Quebec, and France. Between creating graphic novels, designing a front cover for a novel or a jazz record sleeve, he enjoys telling stories about setting sail for unpredictable encounters in far-flung climes.
