The Great Outdoors

Publisher Dargaud
Age Adults
After La Légèreté (Lightness), Catherine Meurisse continues her pursuit of beauty in the familiar landscapes of her childhood.

Catherine Meurisse spent her childhood outside, construction all around her: an old farmhouse renovated into a home, trees planted, a garden created, dreams cultivated. She and her family dig, graft, they plant a rosebush "adopted" from Montaigne, a fig tree from Rabelais. They watch the tumult of the outside world: new developments in industrial agriculture, the citification of rural France… With her characteristic humor, Catherine Meurisse has composed a witty poem dedicated to the countryside where she calling as an artist first took shape.
