Park Bench

An incredibly lovely book. Beautiful, kind, witty and calm.' Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing With Feathers

Chaboute's enchanting story of a park bench was first published to critical acclaim in France in 2012. Faber now brings his work to the English-speaking world for the first time.

Through Chaboute's elegant graphic style, we watch people pass, stop, meet, return, wait and play out the strange and funny choreography of life. Fans of The Fox and the Star, The Man Who Planted Trees and Richard Linklater's Boyhood will find this intimate graphic novel about a simple park bench - and the people who walk by or linger - poignant, life-affirming and brilliantly original.

Fanii Vulpii si Stelei, Omul care a plantat copaci si Copilaria lui Richard Linklater vor gasi acest roman grafic intim despre o banca de parc simpla - si oamenii care trec sau zabovesc - plin de viata, afirmand viata si stralucitor de original.
