Pénélope Bagieu

Pénélope Bagieu never thought she'd create a graphic memoir. But when she dusted off her old diaries (no, really - this book is based on her actual diaries!), she found cringe-worthy, hilarious, and heartbreaking stories begging to be drawn. In Layers, Bagieu reflects on her childhood and teen years with her characteristic wit and unflinching honesty. The result is fifteen short stories about friendship, love, grief, and those awkward first steps toward adulthood.

En kat ved navn Røgsky. En mor og en søster. Skiskole, manglende bryster og venskab. Paris og London. Sorg, kærlighed og deja-vu. Alt sammen er lag i Pénélope Bagieus historie. Med 15 personlige fortællinger giver den franske tegner og forfatter et indblik i de oplevelser - og det mod, der har gjort hende til den, hun er i dag.

Ellen Cohen drömmer om att bli sångerska. Hon har en fantastisk röst, hennes personlighet är lika excentrisk som bedårande, hennes behov av kärlek omättligt. I början av 1960-talet lämnar hon Baltimore för att undslippa en framtid som försäljare av pastramimackor och pröva lyckan i New York. Pénélope Bagieu föds 1982 i Paris till föräldrar av korsikanskt och baskiskt ursprung. 2007 skapar hon Ma vie est toute à fait fascinante (Mitt rätt så fantastiska liv), en tecknad blogg där hon beskriver sin vardag med humor och träffsäker finess. Tack vare publiceringen av boken fortsätter bloggens succé i bokhandeln. Därefter tecknar hon historien om Josephine och gör illustrationer inom förlag, press och reklam. 2010 publicerar hon sin första längre berättelse, Cadavre exquis, hos Gallimard. Två år senare tecknar hon La page blanche tillsammans med Boulet, utgiven av Delcourt. I februari 2013 nomineras hon till priset Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres vid den 40:e internationella seriefestivalen i Angoulême. Samma år börjar hon arbeta med Joann Sfar och de gör Stars of the Stars tillsammans, utgiven av Gallimard.

California Dreamin' from P n lope Bagieu depicts Mama Cass as you've never known her, in this poignant graphic novel about the remarkable vocalist who rocketed The Mamas & the Papas to stardom. Before she was the legendary Mama Cass of the folk group The Mamas and the Papas, Ellen Cohen was a teen girl from Baltimore with an incredible voice, incredible confidence, and incredible dreams. She dreamed of being not just a singer but a star. Not just a star--a superstar. So, at the age of nineteen, at the dawn of the sixties, Ellen left her hometown and became Cass Elliot. At her size, Cass was never going to be the kind of girl that record producers wanted on album covers. But she found an unlikely group of co-conspirators, and in their short time together this bizarre and dysfunctional band recorded some of the most memorable songs of their era. Through the whirlwind of drugs, war, love, and music, Cass struggled to keep sight of her dreams, of who she loved, and--most importantly--who she was.
