The Third Population by Jeff Pourqui

The Third Population by Jeff Pourqui

An exploration, in graphic novel form, of the French psychiatric clinic La Chesnaie. Illustrates the supportive environment where patients and caregivers participate equally in the day-to-day operations of the clinic.

“Guided by caregivers, administrators, but mostly the patients, the observant duo turn their initial announcement of ‘We’re here to make a comic about Chesnaie’ into a surprisingly participatory, warmly individualized, even laugh-out-loud, record of mental illness”

—Terry Hong Booklist

“The Third Population is a great missing component to the rich area of comics about mental health, a form of stepping back from the intensely personal aspects and mapping out the universal ones that include many levels of involvement and require planning, organization, patience, and empathy.”

—John Seven The Beat

“Showing compassion for others is a rare thing these days, especially when it comes to people with disabilities. But in The Third Population we have just that. Aurélien Ducoudray and Jeff Pourquié—maybe even without intending to—have created a graphic novel that is kind, honest, heartfelt, and humane.”

—Damien Canteau Comixtrip

“A book full of life and humor, on an unusual psychiatric establishment.”

—Guillaume Garcia-Mora Planète BD
