« My name is Etienne, and i’m an alcoholic ». Thoose words are the firts words of this graphic novel. In fact, this is an autobiography and it gives a real power to the story. In another life, Etienne Schréder, was a civil servant, recorder in a prison. In the soft spiral of alcohol (yes, it does exist !), with its obliged stations : pubs, friends, homeless persons…This is absurd, incoherent…this is a purgatory !
For such scenario, you have to be courageous : sharped angle shots in black and white make the hero a real « shivering shadow » dismembermented. The moral is somewhere between fatalism and hope because, a night in winter 1984, Etienne stoped drinking. But we don’t know the reason, maybe a piece dignity. But all thoose events brougth us a new talented author.
