By Étienne Davodeau

Book Overview

A hilarious graphic novel skewering the art world and family expectations

Fabian, a Louvre security guard, loves his job and Mathilde. But when Mathilde introduces him to her eccentric family, the Benions, things get complicated. They've unearthed a painting by a 19th-century ancestor, a "cross-eyed mutt," and want Fabian's expert opinion: masterpiece or eyesore?

As Fabian navigates the Benions' quirky personalities and the machinations of the art world, he's drawn into a scheme that could jeopardize his job and his relationship.
