Catherine Meurisse brings Thoreau's forest to the page
In 'Le Clan de Walden', the comics artist returns to Henry David Thoreau and his woods, a subject she discussed on France Culture.
Nature has run through Catherine Meurisse's work since childhood, according to France Culture, and it is at the center of her new book, 'Le Clan de Walden'. The graphic artist revisits Henry David Thoreau and the forest he made famous, populating the book with its animals and its conflicts.
France Culture notes that Meurisse brings her usual humor to the subject, a trait the broadcaster describes as intact even as she engages with Thoreau's ideas about solitude and the natural world.
The segment, part of the program 'De cause à effets, le magazine de l'environnement', frames the book within Meurisse's longer preoccupation with nature as a recurring thread in her output, without detailing plot, publisher or release date beyond what the broadcast describes.
