In a 2023 article, the Black British writer Derek Owusu describes the transformative experience of reading D. H. Lawrence’s St Mawr (1925) as simultaneously an awakening to language and to a wider sense of connectedness. ‘I don’t have the words to describe what happened to me while turning the pages of that short story,’ he writes, ‘but I know language became something three-dimensional, and everything around me seemed connected by an unexpressed narrative.’

Framing the Francophone: The Seen and the Unseen in Contemporary Graphic Novels

updated: 
Friday, October 4, 2024 - 6:41am
NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

The current surge of graphic novels in French, from Marjane Satrapi's oft-celebrated Persepolis to Jessica Oublié's lesser-known-yet-prize-winning Péyi An Nou, signifies a shift in priorities for Francophone storytellers. Graphic novels create meaning through the interplay of text and image; they privilege non-linear storytelling and thinking; and they prioritize accessibility over erudition. As a marginalized genre, graphic novels are a welcome home for those writing and illustrating from the margins of society. In a graphic novel, what we see is never the full story; instead, we are constantly challenged into new modes of "seeing" and "reading" that question assumptions about the consumption of literature and art.
