The Wrong Place: Brecht Evens

Rendered in vivid watercolour where parquet floors and patterned dresses morph together, The Wrong Place revolves around oft-absent Robbie, a charismatic lothario of mysterious celebrity who has the run of a city as chaotic as it is resplendent.

Robbie`s charisma attracts the attention of everyone around him; his brightness contrasts strikingly with the moodiness of his childhood friend Francis. With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, Angouleme-winner Brecht Evens`s first English graphic novel captures the strange chemistry of social interaction. The Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free.
