Line of Fire: An evening with Barroux & Sarah Ardizzone
Posted: February 10, 2014
Amongst the many commemorations of The Great War this year, and several through comics and graphic novels, Line of Fire truly stands out as a remarkable piece. French writer and artist Barroux (above) rescued a old tatty diary from a rubbish skip in Paris and discovered it contained searingly honest and moving entries made by a First World War soldier. Barroux has adapted these into the graphic novel Line of Fire, published in English by Phoenix Yard Books at £10.99 with an intro by Michael Morpurgo. You can meet Barroux and the book’s translator Sarah Ardizzone in conversation this coming Thursday February 13th at Waterstones Piccadilly from 6.30pm. Tickets cost £5 or £3 for Waterstones Cardholders and include a glass of wine of soft drink. To book ring 020 7851 2400 or email events.piccadilly[at]waterstones.com
Barroux is also hosting a free drop-in drawing workshop at Heffers Bookshop, Cambridge from 2:30pm on Friday February 14th, and another workshop at the Imagine children’s festival on London’s South Bank on Sunday February 16th.
