His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene's fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The third book in Anne Simon's \"Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel series (after \u003cem\u003eThe Song of Aglaia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEmpress Cixtisis\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eBoris the Potato Child\u003c\/em\u003e delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that's mightier than any man's sword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Simon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683965620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683965626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 6.98w x 0.92d","brand":"Anne Simon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992678498559,"sku":"9781683965626","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_129eb499-9bdd-4a2e-a312-7ed9ea314422.jpg?v=1683320184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boris-the-potato-child-anne-simon-9781683965626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
