Poisson Gélatine - Ancienne Edition
« Toutes les histoires ont déjà été racontées », faisait dire Daniel Clowes à son personnage David Boring, « alors si tu choisis d’en raconter une, raconte la bien ». Une citation lourde de sens qui s’accorde bien avec ce premier livre de Tarabiscouille, récit mythologique à la fois moderne et du fond des âges. Avec un style graphique intemporel (un traitement particulièrement original de la hachure) et une narration muette, Tarabiscouille crée un monde d’avant la technologie pour y réinventer Caïn et Abel se débattant sous l’influence de Mère-Nature. Un livre d’aujourd’hui mais déjà hors du temps, preuve de sa réussite. « Poisson gélatine est [...] un conte qui prend soin de garder son mystère et de dire juste ce qu’il faut pour laisser au lecteur une part de poésie et d’imagination. » L’Humanité

-›reprinted 2022 but by « Étienne Savoye » (9782916049939)
Narrative: ***
This absolutely wordless (not even storefronts) tragedy caused me to "read" aloud to myself in more detail than usual to understand the symbolism and what was happening. My favorite part was feeling smart when I realized that all would be ___ which made the end easier to appreciate.
Visual: **
I don't know anything about the seemingly arduous style that dominates inside but cannot be seen above. If you enter reprint ISBN(^) you can see it but in no way clearly. What I'll call 'parallel-hatching' is like drawing a line @5mm tall every|millimeter then doing the same above and below to fill in space- seemingly in the vein of cross-hatching! It was annoying in the "why?" sense til final pages when I didn't know if I was supposed to be seeing design within or if the editor had simply forced him to hurry.
