July / juli / juillet: “The Making Of” by Brecht Evens

At the time when everyone leaves for vacation we turn to our chosen home and search for a book among low countries’ authors. We presented three very representative samples and chose for the very first book of its kind in out book club:

“The Making Of”, a graphic novel by Brecht Evens, characterised as the finest ambassador for Belgian
illustration since Hergé. The book’s plot seems too juicy to spoil here, google at your own responsibility! His book, so original and so gorgeous-looking, comes with the warm-hearted message that, however silly and pompous this world can sometimes be, in the end, art only ever brings people together.
