Ted, drôle de coco by Emilie Gleason

Les éditions Atrabile (2018). Angouleme FIBD Revelation Prize Winner. French language. From the publisher: "Ted lugs his tall, lanky carcass through the city in a regular and energetic routine; metro-work-sleep, of course, but with uncommon energy and rigor. Then one day, the mechanics seize up and everything goes into overdrive, that day when the metro is under construction and things are no longer as usual. And there, everything goes wrong... Emilie Gleason was strongly inspired by the experience of her brother, diagnosed with Asperger's, to tell the very strange days of Ted - meeting, discussion, love, sex, empathy, so many things which, for Ted, do not don't really go without saying... But while the "comic strip of reality" has produced so many soothing works existing only through their subject, Emilie Gleason, she transcends her subject to give us a moment of boosted reading, carried out at a hundred miles an hour, full of surprises and surprises. Much more than a "report" or a "testimony", Ted is a real immersion in a not really common spirit, and offers on arrival a rare reading experience, a whirlwind of colors and energy, image of its main character."
