Catherine Meurisse Sends Thoreau Into a Comic Ecological Fable
The cartoonist's new book, out September 18 from Dargaud, uses humour to tackle environmental themes through the figure of Henry David Thoreau.
Catherine Meurisse's next graphic work, « Le clan de Walden », arrives at Dargaud on September 18, according to Livres Hebdo. The book summons Henry David Thoreau, the 19th-century American writer known for his retreat to Walden Pond, as the starting point for what the outlet describes as a rollicking ecological fable.
Livres Hebdo says Meurisse uses humour as a way into pressing contemporary concerns, in keeping with the satirical and literary bent that has run through much of her earlier work.
No further details on the book's plot, format or length have been given in the source material.
