The Neighbors

Thanks to a couple of friends who decided to return to live in France, a man only finds an apartment in New York, right in the heart of Manhattan. From the first weeks, mysterious noises escape from a neighboring dwelling. Intrigued, the man decides to find out the identity of his neighbors, questions the concierge and gathers clues both real and imaginary... Like a minimalist puzzle, The Neighbors evokes these big cities where we live crowded together, without knowing each other and rarely crossing paths more than once. Parallels, perpendiculars, piles of boxes… the geometry of New York architecture is accentuated by the simplicity of the line. But also As refined as they may be, these boxes contain their share of stories while the noises behind the thin partitions are weighted with mystery. Laurent Cilluffo and Jeff Gomez met when they were living in New York. This is their first book at The Association.
