Publisher's Synopsis
New York, 1954. On the roof of an apartment building,
a young woman patiently tends to her beehives and seems to be longing for
someone or some thing. In the building across the street lives a kingpin of
crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They
don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them, the void, a
police car, and a private fencedin park under lock and key.
Gramercy Park is one of those rare graphic novels that defies the obvious and clichéd, allowing the reader the freedom to wander in this mysterious adventure and get lost in the poetic script of Timothée de Fombelle and embrace the delicate drawings and muted colors of Christian Cailleaux.
Nominated for a 2019 Angoulême Award.
