STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE, THE COMPLETE!
STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE, THE COMPLETE!
An unvarnished autobiography, an erotic confession that is both raw and tender,
report on contemporary life across continents, a female perspective on
things about sex, but above all a comic strip of freshness and brilliance
brilliant: on all these levels, the two volumes of Strawberry and Chocolate
(2006-2007) have established themselves as a lasting reference. Many young people and
older people have cast a look at their couple inspired by drawings and
the humor of Aurélia Aurita. The exceptional success of this first work of a
great formal and narrative mastery transformed Chenda (“Chocolate”) and
Frédéric ("Strawberry") as real characters, which a new generation of
readers can now rediscover in this complete and enriched edition
of an unpublished 36-page epilogue.
"Aurélia Aurita's comic strip is a joy. It's funny, touching, and it stays
exciting." (Liberation)
"Aurélia Aurita's work is an event." (Le Monde)
"What is wonderful about this business [...] is to see the artist,
in the splendor of his health, the insolence of his happiness, ridicule all the
brutes, these trialists, kings and queens, deans of modesty and aunts
attackers, all these ignorant, heartless people, who ultimately do not know
nothing, but really nothing, to art, to its meaning, to its functioning, to its
universal generosity." (Le Monde 2)
