The Rough Pearl

It’s the story of a guy… who loses his footing. Severely. Nowadays, in the U.S.A., Adam Kline is an adjunct teacher in an art school. This budding artist doesn’t really have a very happy outlook. He hates his job and his wife is tired of supporting his pipe dreams. Between unsympathetic friends, a student who openly flirts with him and the impression that a new employee is watching him in a strange way, Adam loses his footing. With strange visions and nightmarish dreams, he fears madness is overtaking his sanity. Kevin Mutch is a prestigious Xerix Award-winning author. The Rough Pearl is a graphic novel that shakes up the codes. The artist denounces the pretentious world of the University, of Art and the excesses of life. The Rough Pearl is a strange, nebulous and captivating reading, one that will please lovers of the work of David Lynch, fans of Daniel Clowes, Charles Burns and Joe Ollman.
