ORDINARY VICTORIES : What is Precious
By Manu Larcenet
TIME magazine put ORDINARY VICTORIES on its list of “5 Fantastic
Graphic Novels,” and the Angoulême International Comics Festival gave
it the Year’s Best Comic Book award. It’s about Marco: a tired,
small-town photographer who’s been dealing with a pain-in-the-neck cat,

a cute woman who seems (against all odds) to like him, and a neighbor
who seems likable until Marco discovers his disturbing role in wartime.

In this second and concluding volume, Marco has a child and loses his
father, his mother learns about living alone, a man dies in the
countryside, and a journalist cracks under pressure. Manu Larcenet
(Astronauts of the Future, Dungeon) tells an extraordinarily moving
story about rare moments, small sadnesses, and a guy trying to live the

best way he can.
Full-color trade paperback, 6 1/2” x 9”, 128 pages, $15.95, ISBN
978-1-56163-533-7.
Also available is ORDINARY VICTORIES’ acclaimed first volume (ISBN
1-56163-423-9). Some reviews:
"[One of the ] top ten graphic novels of the year." -- Booklist
"A compelling, insightful story." -- Publishers Weekly
"Achieves a degree of sensitivity and emotional nuance rare in any
literary medium, and [the] expressive, cartoonish drawings help
contribute subtle humor to the chronicle of Marco's plight." -- Kirkus
Reviews

REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST
Part Three: Swann in Love, Volume 1
By Marcel Proust, adapted by Stephane Heuet
The acclaimed adaptation continues. Swann is a guest of high-society
soirees at the end of the 19th century. At first, he feels no
attraction to frivolous, superficial Odette de Crecy -- but soon, she
becomes an obsession.
"Heuet's translation to sequential art retains the work's distinctive
period feel and eye for detail." -- Publishers Weekly
"Just as delightful as its predecessors. I have to admit part of what
impresses me is that Heuet is trying this at all. I can think of few
novels that suggest themselves for comics adaptation less. Yet he pulls

it off, adding texture to Proust's immortal prose." -- Andrew Smith,
Scripps-Howard Papers
