Le verre à moitié vide (The half-empty glass) by Aurelie William Levaux
Les éditions Atrabile (2015). From the publisher: "With only a handful of books to her credit, Aurélie William Levaux has established herself as an artist with a unique voice, thanks to her very particular sensitivity and her technique mixing drawings and embroidery. She comes back to us today with this Half-Empty Glass , constructed in short chapters, and designed over the course of her thoughts and her daily life, a kind of logbook or (fake) diary, made of flashes, reflections and thoughts of all kinds. With a sincere desire to tell, she confronts her inner demons here as well as the world around her, flattering both the eye and the mind. Let's not be afraid of words: Aurélie William Levaux is an exceptional artist, and the publication of her new book will delight all curious readers looking for something else."
