About this deal

No le he dado cinco estrellas porque el final no ha quedado cerrado pero tengo la esperanza que eso sea porque hay Segunda parte, de ser así sin duda le daré 5 estrellazas porque las merece. De Camille Jourdy me interesa muchísimo cómo, al contrario que la mayoría de autores de cómics, decide que sus historias no traten sobre hechos o personajes extraordinarios sino sobre la suma de vivencias cotidianas que constituyen las vidas anodinadas y costumbristas de la inmensísima mayoría de la humanidad. Me gusta que sus historias incluyan rifirrafes familiares; que sus personajes sean del montón (bajo); que en las conversaciones se hable sobre dinero o cuidados; que la soledad, la mediocridad y la infelicidad planeen sobre sus protagonistas como también planean sobre cualquiera de nosotros, sus lectores. Y todo esto lo cuenta con unos colores vibrantes, preciosos, de una intensidad casi de cuento infantil: y esta dicotomía enriquece mucho la obra porque la vida también es un poco así. Her very first contribution to the graphic narrative world takes place in 2004, when her first comic is published; Une araignée, des tagliatelles et au lit, tu parles d´une vie. This work shows a firm experimental vocation, where Jourdy plays with the narrative possibilities of the media.

Juliette by Camille Jourdy published by Drawn and Quarterly Juliette by Camille Jourdy published by Drawn and Quarterly

Juliette visits her family in rural France and learns to take comfort in the countryside all the while trying to remain positive for her family. She stays with her father, who is divorced, and visits her sister, who is having an affair, frequently. Walking around one day, she finds her childhood home, and it's under the new ownership of the town drunk. He invites her in and a friendship is formed. Camile Jourdy es una genia y esta novela es un fiel reflejo de su mente cósmica. El dibujo es el más bonito del mundo, hay colores pastel y la tipografía es preciosa. Es, sinceramente, una obra de arte. Me ha gustado aún más que "Las Varamillas" y aún me queda por leer "Rosalie Blum". De verdad, la perspectiva de esta autora es única. No he leído nada parecido a esto. Me encanta.

It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. Se abordan temas como la depresión, la hipocondría, los laberintos familiares, los secretos y el orgullo. Esta historia demuestra que todos estamos un poco cucús y que el miedo nos paraliza. Hacemos cosas extrañas por temor y no sabemos si es más por pánico por los demás o por nosotros mismos. Since Camille Jourdy finished her education in Fine Arts, this French author divides her time between her works as illustrator of children´s books and her true passion: comic creation. Ha sido de esos libros que lees con pena porque se acaba rápido y encima te encanta tanto que no quieres llegar a la última página.

Jourdy’s graphic novel takes a gently unravelling approach to bittersweet familial and romantic relationships. Though the author offers disaffection as one possible coping mechanism in dealing with a fractured nuclear family, Jourdy’s tale also suggests that some relationships could be as reparative as they are destructive. Beneath a ghost’s pallid costume is a naked, living person. Executed in watercolour and consistently blushing with pigment, Juliette takes us behind the curtains and beneath the sheets. Grand-mère n'était pas prête. (…) Ferme pas y'a ton excitée de mère et son nouveau mec qui suivent. After some years devoted to producing children´s works, the author in parallel dedicates part of her time to the creation of her most ambitious work: Rosalie Blum. In 2007, the first volume of the trilogy is published in France. And it is finished by the launching of the third volume of the series two years later. Jourdy renders these encounters in glorious shades of ripe pink flesh and the deepest green of high summer.

This core of supporters — making up about 1 to 2 per cent of our daily readership — enables us to pay our writers, keep our articles free and open to all, and not bombard our readers with annoying ads while you try to read.Me declaro fan incondicional de Camille Jourdy. Estaba convencida de que nada de lo que publicase posteriormente se acercaría a la maravilla que es Rosalie Blum, y aunque esta Juliette no me ha gustado tantísimo, quizás porque el impacto de lo novedoso se pierde, me parece también una obra genial.

J'ai quand même bien le droit de te payer des études ! T'es partie de la maison tellement tôt que je ne t'ai jamais rien payé du tout. Her sister, a caregiver and mother of two, is carrying on an elaborate affair with a man from a costume shop. Her parents, separated, are now estranged. Father is sure he’s developing Alzheimer’s, though it’s more likely that he’s simply getting old. Mother, on the other hand, revels in the second act of her life as a free woman, an artist with a show at their local gallery to prove it.

This slice of life graphic novel is so poignant, what with the plot, the language, the watercolors. It feels truly pastoral, rife with small-town drama and family plots. There family secrets, an aging grandmother, and tense moments between townies and families. Instead of focusing on what kind of articles will attract the most advertising dollars, we can spend time devoted to researching and writing stories that our readers find most valuable and make the most positive impact in our region. La tribu ne serait pas complète sans la mère qui a refait sa vie. Plusieurs fois. En ce moment, c'est avec un hippie, mais ça pourrait aussi bien être avec un banquier. Ce qu'elle veut, elle, c'est de la légèreté, du rire. Ce que son ex-mari ne lui donnait pas. This season features world premieres from leading Vancouver theatre companies, an East Van Panto twist on Beauty and the Beast, hilarious comedy, and three big international contemporary-circus shows. Join us at The Cultch in East Van. Ah parce que t'aurais voulu que je t'empêche de te marier ? C'est nouveau ça... Ça va être de ma faute...Juliette, a young woman suffering from anxiety and depression, takes a break from work and pays a visit to her hometown. Juliette Le rencontre alors qu'elle erre dans l'impasse où elle a vécu autrefois, même si elle ne s'en souvient pas.

Juliette: Or, A Weird Homecoming - ArtReview Juliette: Or, A Weird Homecoming - ArtReview

A regular of the local dive bar, Polux mostly whiles away the hours drifting into the lassitude of drink, spending his days with the occasional hook up and silly bets, seemingly dissolving into a state of permanent ennui. Il n'est pas de la famille mais vit dans la maison qui était la leur. Pollux est un vieux garçon qui passe son temps au café du coin, qui se laisse aller. Même ses femmes imaginaires l'ont quitté. Encantoume. E ese é o verbo preciso, porque é un cómic "encantador": bonito, emocionante, moi divertido e agudo na súa maneira de achegarse a personaxes perdidos. É o primeiro que leo de Camille Jourdy (é da miña quinta!) e paréceme fabuloso. A historia non é sorprendente porque non o quere ser: é un compendio de vidas "provincianas" nunha cidade francesa "de provincias" (que a autora coñece e debuxa con moito cariño). E debaixo desa capa de presunta vulgaridade hai segredos, vidas complexas, ganas de amar e de ser amad@ dun feixe de personaxes trazados con empatía.

No os la perdáis aunque no sea precisamente barata, aún así, cuando la lees y disfrutas de las ilustraciones se entiende perfectamente porque tiene ese precio.
