(4) K-3 Translated by Laura McKenna. A depressed Parisian giraffe bemoans her lonely, do-nothing life until her apartment building is torn down, prompting her to take a chance at adventure. While the story is little more than existential musing, the golden-toned paintings placing realistically drawn animals in human poses and settings are oddly compelling.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
