In hallucinatory color or elegant black-and-white, she brings us into lands that are strange but oddly recognizable, filled with murderous grandmothers and lonely city dwellers, bad-tempered vegetables and walls that are surprisingly easy to fall through. In the title story, written with Edith Zha, a new houseplant becomes the first step in an epic journey of self-discovery and a witty fable of modern romance--complete with talking shrubbery, a wised-up genie, and one very depressed bird. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis selection, designed and introduced by Daniel Clowes, presents the full achievement of an unforgettable, unjustly neglected master of French comics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Claveloux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681376687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Nicole Claveloux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993098846463,"sku":"9781681376684","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2af80400-f6b0-4b1b-ac0e-4d373dda78bc.jpg?v=1683322516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-green-hand-and-other-nicole-claveloux-9781681376684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
