‘‘Polza Mancini, age 38, writer. Fat, disgusting, homeless. (wait, I’m wrong: “Not homeless! A bum. The former is a victim, the latter makes a choice.”) And a killer, now in police custody, telling his story the way he wants it. What is truth and what is fabulation? We don’t know - he’s a...‘‘

T 1 Demande à Modigliani !

‘‘Ne jugez pas ce livre par la couverture! :) Oui, ma nièce de six ans peut dessiner ça, mais c’est un choix assumé. L'art "naïf" transmet le message que le travail acharné et le dévouement comptent, qu’on peut tous être artistes, tant qu'on a quelque chose de pertinent à dire. Et cette...‘‘

T 1 My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

Wanted Lucky Luke

‘‘I’ll start with the conclusion first: this isn’t your grandaddy’s Lucky Luke. It’s way better. Bonhomme starts with a bang: a shady “Wanted!” poster with our lonesome cowboy’s name and approximate likeness on it - which means Luke is now the target of bounty hunters, on top of the usual...‘‘
