After René·e aux bois dormants (6 awards, lauded by the press and readers alike, with 19,600 net copies sold), Elene Usdin is back! Toying with the stylistic conventions of comics, she alternates between detailed drawings in black pen or color ballpoint and pages painted in pale, diffuse colors. A liberating road trip for two shattered young women, this tale draws subtle parallels between the fall of ancient Rome and the decline of Detroit, the industrial city that gave rise to American capitalism.
