What could possibly connect two solitary beings--a former Op�ra de Paris dancer and an elusive man whom everyone fears?

New York, 1954. On the roof of an apartment building, a young woman patiently tends to her beehives and seems to be longing for someone or some thing. In the building across the street lives a kingpin of crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them: the void, a police car, and a private fenced-in park under lock and key.

Gramercy Park is one of those rare graphic novels that defies the obvious and clich�d, allowing the reader the freedom to wander in this mysterious adventure and get lost in the poetic script of Timoth�e de Fombelle and embrace the delicate drawings and muted colors of Christian Cailleaux.

Nominated for a 2019 Angoul�me Award.

� propos de l?auteur

Timoth�e de Fombelle is an award-winning novelist, playwright, and professor of literature in France. He is best known for his novels Tobie Lolness (which has been translated into twenty-nine languages) and Vango, which was chosen to represent France for the IBBY Honour List. He has received about twenty awards, including the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire and the Saint Exup�ry Prize. Gramercy Park is his first graphic novel. Why comics? "Because I felt that this story needed air, I wanted it to be less of a novel, it was a story based on the silence of these two characters who observe each other," says the writer.

Christian Cailleaux is a graphic novelist, illustrator, and extremely poor trumpet player, just like the hero of his graphic novels The Imposters. He is an active traveler, having lived for fifteen years alternately in Africa, Quebec, and France. Between creating graphic novels, designing a front cover for a novel or a jazz record sleeve, he enjoys telling stories about setting sail for unpredictable encounters in far-flung climes.
