White Rapids
Art déco graphic novel from one of the best graphic novel artist in Quebec. Blanchet with a quasi monochrome palette of dark almost black brown, to bright orange tells the story of a 'company town' up north on the St-Maurice river, Rapide Blanc. Built to house the employees of the water and energy company operating the hydro damp, Rapide Blanc became a ghost town in 1971 when the hydro damp now own by Hydro Québec went for automated operations. It's a somber, yet clear look at a way of life that was completely out of touch with the rest of the province. I liked it a lot.
