E. tienne Davodeau Book order

Etienne Davodeau is a comic artist. He doesn't know much about the world of wine-making. Richard Leroy is a wine-maker. He's rarely even read comics. But these two are full of good will and curiosity. Why do we choose to spend one's life writing and creating comics or producing wine? How and for whom do we do them? To answer these questions, Etienne went to work in Richard's vineyards and cellar. Richard, in return, leapt into the world of comics. They opened a lot of bottles and read many comics. They travelled around, meeting authors and wine-makers sharing their passion for their jobs.

Fabian is supervisor at the Louvre. He loves his job. He also loves Mathilde. After some time, she presents him to her family in their vast country house and not without some apprehension, as the Benion clan is a bit special. When they find a peculiar painting of a cross-eyed mutt by an ancestor from the nineteenth century, they decide that it's a masterpiece. Fabian hopes the delusion will go away, until the two brothers show up at the Louvre. Getting the Cross-Eyed Mutt into the Louvre would demonstrate his commitment to becoming a member of the Benion family!

At the end of yet another unproductive job interview, Lulu - on a whim - takes off for the shore just to get away from it all. Her husband and children are bewildered by her disappearance, but she has nothing against them: this is just her time, getting away from the grind and being taken for granted with no other plan than savouring it. Surprised at her own temerity, she meets other people on the edge of the world. By the author of the acclaimed The Initiates (NBM, also available from Turnaround).
