E.1027 - Agnès Hostache

After Nagasaki (Ed. Le Lézard Noir, Prix Révélation BD ADAGP / Quai des Bulles 2020), Agnès Hostache adapts Célia Houdard’s novel Tout un monde lointain (Ed. P.O.L.) into a graphic novel.

One summer in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, decorator Gréco watches over Villa E.1027, the white villa designed by Irish architect and designer Eileen Gray, with loving care. One day, she surprises Louison and Tessa, two young squatters and neo-hippie dancers. Gréco is as sober and modest as they are sensual, naked and volcanic. Bathing and fruit snacks are soon disrupted by a series of incidents caused by Louison, the most worrying and unpredictable of the three protagonists, whose taste for cross-dressing and macabre stagings we discover.

Using bright, direct tones, the illustrator plunges us into a sensual and surprising exploration of iconic 20th-century architecture, character intimacy and the French Riviera sun.
