Equinoxes

By Cyril Pedrosa

In an equinox, day is as long as night, as if the world found perfect equilibrium between shadow and light, a fleeting equilibrium, similar to the stakes of our human destinies. Segmented into four tableaux for four seasons, unrelated people of all social backgrounds seeking equilibrium cross paths with other solitudes, weaving in and out of one another's lives- all captivated and tormented by the enigmatic meaning of life. Every season has its visual identity and its individual voice, culminating in summer and, possibly, an answer. Equinoxes is a unique ground-breaking work of rare intensity and narrative sensibility by a rising bestselling star of European comics.

Reviews for Equinoxes

[carmenere_1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

If I had the time or desire, I'd read through this GN a second time and ponder it more thoroughly. But alas, I have too much to do and little desire to observe the loneliness and sadness these pages hold.However, for those who want to venture here you will find a couple of story lines, which take place in France, with multiple characters who appear to be at odds with others or who have experienced loss. I suppose, it was just me, not being in the mood for sadness and discontent. On the positive side, one thing I did enjoy was the archaeological aspect of the story.

If you have an impulse to stop reading this book by page 30, go with it. I should have. I read every word and looked at every panel and regret every wasted moment.

A whole lot of nothing characters do a whole lot of nothing for over 300 pages. Tedium packaged for your consumption.
