Living body

In 1990, Julie Delporte had never seen a butch, but her favorite aunt hunts and smokes cigars. Almost twenty years later, she published a book on Tove Jansson in which she happily recounts that this Finnish artist is the first woman she identifies with, only she was a lesbian and not Julie. At 35, after having highlighted her copy in all the colors From Monique Wittig's Straight Thinking, Julie Delporte stops wearing dresses and takes her future into her own hands. In this graphic novel which follows on from I Also Wanted to Win, The author traces the history of her sexuality. A story marked by the unfortunately too banal violence of attacks, as by that of clichés and injunctions linked to a culture of performance and heteronormativity.
