Manu Larcenet's Graphic Novel 'Faremo senza' Published in Italian
Manu Larcenet's graphic novel 'Faremo senza' (originally published in France in 2000) has been translated into Italian by Zerocalcare, who also wrote the preface. Published by Coconino Press in Bologna in 2017, the 64-page book (€16, ISBN 978887618) presents the stream-of-consciousness reflections of a bulbous-nosed character grappling with fears, anxieties, and existential questions from childhood onward. Larcenet (born 1969 in Issy-les-Moulineaux) uses stylized, lighthearted drawings to explore deep, introspective themes, creating a contrast between humor and melancholy. The work is described as an invitation to confront personal weaknesses and fears, blending words and images in a comic format that challenges conventional storytelling.
