Laurent Gaudé's Mediterranean novels get the graphic-novel treatment
Two French comics artists have each adapted a work by the prize-winning novelist, part of a broader wave of literary adaptations into bande dessinée.
Two new graphic novels transpose the fiction of Laurent Gaudé, the French novelist known for his lyrical, Mediterranean-set stories, according to Télérama. One album is drawn by David Prudhomme and published by Actes Sud BD, the other by Alfred and published by Delcourt.
Télérama frames the two books as part of a wider trend of turning literary successes into bande dessinée, with Gaudé's work offering source material well suited to visual adaptation given its emphasis on landscape and atmosphere.
The source material available does not specify which of Gaudé's novels are being adapted, nor release dates, page counts or other publication details. Those particulars were not given in the report.
