CATS OF THE LOUVRE HC

One of our Gosh! Best of 2019 titles! Any new release from Matsumoto goes straight to the top of our reading list, and as you might expect from this master mangaka this book quickly transcends what appears to be a cutesie central concept: the nocturnal wanderings of a group of cats living in the attic of the Louvre. Matsumoto leans heavily into the artistic language of French cinema as we follow the lives of cats and humans intertwining with the artworks of the Louvre. Heavy themes abound: loss, grief, art, family and survival. A graphic novel in the truest sense of the word, packaged into a stunning hardcover edition.
