Les Pistes Invisibles. Xavier Mussat (Albin Michel)

Comics are an art of oscillation, between appearance and disappearance, in which one factor bolsters the other. In some of his influential essays, Jan Baetens has shown us how abstraction does not necessarily entail a non-narrative discourse, and how abstraction and figuration can work together within the same text to weave meaning. I believe Les pistes invisibles to be one of these examples.
