A Guide for Troubled Times

In these strange times, it's easy to feel lost. That's why if you can read french or Italian, I recommend "Faremo senza" (meaning “we’ll do without), a unique comic book translated by Zerocalcare.

Manu Larcenet's work confronts our deepest fears and darkest moods, those heavy burdens we carry daily, often pretending they don't exist.

Embracing Vulnerability and Honesty

Larcenet tackles these themes with extraordinary sensitivity and honesty, making us feel understood. This comic is an intimate read, best experienced in a cozy corner that feels like home.

It will resonate deeply, take you by the hand, and whisper that yes, it's not easy, but you are not alone.

Why I love it:

• Sincere Dialogue: It speaks honestly, voicing what many are afraid to say.

• Simple yet Powerful Illustrations: The drawings are straightforward but create fitting metaphors.

• A Quick but Dense Read: It's a fast read, yet packed with profound insights.

Who would like it:

• Feeling Overwhelmed by the World: If you feel like the world is collapsing around you.

• Believing You're Alone in Struggle: If you think you're the only one facing difficulties.

• Seeking Valuable Reading Without Time Commitment: If you're looking for a meaningful read that doesn't require a lot of time.

Let me know if you know the author and what you think of his work. Did you also read his illustrated version of “Story of a Body” by Daniel Pennac? You should.

Love,
Chiara
