The Way of Wind and Emptiness

Wandering the planet
COLLECTION Rue de l'échiquier BD
Age AdultsAll Ages
Geographical wanderings in the form of comic strips, inspired by aphorisms and haikus.

Kenneth White, creator of the concept of geopoetics, whisks us off on a world tour of places renowned and obscure, evoking them all with haiku-like concision in a handful of well-chosen words. Patrice Reytier has seized upon these wanderings and given them shape—cottony or rainy, color—blue or bloody, a resonance haunted by the spirit of ligne claire. Each setting gets three images as in a comic strip, snapshots as much the reflection of actual geography as a mental landscape, tracing a path of wisdom, filled with humility.
