The Guardian raves about upcoming graphic novel Juliette

I’m absolutely mad about this book, the best graphic novel I’ve read so far this year (its translator is Aleshia Jensen). So many longform comics want for a shape, a real sense of narrative. But Jourdy knows exactly where she wants to take us, and how. Oh, but the detail involved in her rooms and streets! Every frame is drawn with such artistry and care, a work of art in its own right. I can’t think when a cartoonist has ever paid such attention to simple domestic objects, or made them so psychologically revealing. And yet there is a gorgeous simplicity at play here, too. It hardly matters that her characters are often inarticulate: she has the skill to make their faces speak fathomless volumes. Sad and funny and somehow profoundly French, all I can tell you is that Juliette is vraiment génial: a book to be read, reread, and pressed on everyone you know.
