The Wrong Place by Brecht Evens
Wanton youth seen through lush, dreamy, and sweeping watercolors. Rendered in vividwatercolorwhere parquet floors and patterned dresses morph together, The Wrong Place revolves around the often absent Robbie, a charismatic lothario of mysterious celebrity who has the run of a city that is as chaotic as it is resplendent. Robbie's sexual energy captivates the attention of men and women alike; his literal and figurative brightness is a startling foil to the dreariness of his childhood friend, Francis. With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, Brecht Evens's first graphic novel in English captures the strange chemistry of social interaction as easily as he portrays the fragmented nature of identity. The Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free.
Brecht Evens is a Belgian cartoonist living in Paris. The Wrong Place, his first graphic novel, was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Painter. He has since received five more nominations. He has also won the Special Jury Prize in Angoulame for the original edition of his fourth graphic novel The City of Belgium. Evens is also the author of The Making of and Panther.
