review:
'Les Frustrés: Selected Pages from Claire Bretécher's Groundbreaking Work' is from a collection of comics that ran from 1973 to 1980 in Nouvel Obs, a weekly French news magazine. It's look at the frustrations of intellectuals, snobs, feminists and the elite. The comics are still pretty funny and relevant today.
The subjects never go political, but they do touch on sex, feminism, motherhood, careers. Women compare conquests or troubles with men, and couples complain about each other. A couple on vacation talks about their serious book list and one man talks about reading Agatha Christie and Tin Tin.
I really liked this collection. The comics fall into more of the ironic and cynical type of humor, but that suited me fine. The art is a decent cartoonist style. I'm glad I was introduced to this French humorist and artist.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
