Adult Graphic Novel
G/M Bajieu, Penelope. Exquisite Corpse. First Second, 2015. 124p. 978-1-62672-082-4. 19.99
Zoe hates her job as a
booth babe and is unhappy in her abusive relationship. One afternoon in the
park she sees a man peeking out from behind his curtains and taking a chance,
asks to use his bathroom. Unbeknownst to Zoe, the man is the famous novelist, Thomas
Rocher. The two become involved and Zoe moves in. It isn’t until she goes to a
bookstore though to find one of her new boyfriend’s books that she finds out
that Thomas Rocher is dead. This graphic novel, translated from French, has great
artwork and a good story, but it isn’t recommended for teens because it doesn’t
have much teen appeal. Adults who read graphic novels will enjoy it though. Loren
