#fabrice Neaud

[squarehead333]

Fabrice Neaud, asking and answering the tough questions concerning autobiography in a page from his story "Mercredi 16 février 94" ('Wednesday 16th February 94') from the second issue of Bananas, 1995. His use of wash here might be him taking cues from fellow Ego Comme X alumn Aristophane, whom he admired. (Neaud has talked of his admiration for Aristophane's work, Conte Démoniaque in particular, on numerous occasions. Most recently this year: in the new (kinda) Journal volume, Le Dernier Sergent.)

Anyway, here's my seat-of-the-pants translation, apologies to anyone with a connection to the French language:

Can you be judge and judge yourself? / Probably not. / Can we observe ourselves objectively? / Again, probably not. / But then who will tell my story? / My story, it doesn't matter: it's obvious. / The party I am in cannot avoid being affected by it. / and the judge that I have become has delivered his verdict: / A life is a story in search of its own narration. We must give shape to suffering to make it acceptable. / So I will tell my story.

On a planté les roses trémières et les belles de jour le dimanche 05 avril mais rien n'a jamais poussé. "on sent une eau profonde et triste sous-jacente mais tu restes léger et frais c'est très agréable " puis on parle du journal de Fabrice Neaud avec AC et je me rends compte que je n'ai jamais écrit sur l'histoire avec D période durant laquelle je lisais le journal de Fabrice Neaud. vu 3h du matin et 5h. je lis un article sur la désenvie "qui mêle lassitude, fatigue, refus elle dit la tentation de détourner le regard, de ne plus voir ce qui est tant montré, de partir le plus loin possible de ne pas se heurter à chaque pas aux signes évocateurs du risque. elle se manifeste par le refus des médias et le repli chez soi (l'Obs, Manuelle von Strachwitz). on n'a pas bu d'alcool ce soir, mis de l'harissa dans les pois chiches un peu de toi est remonté. la (re) vue des dessins de Neaud a rechargé en moi une espèce de mélancolie étrange et langoureuse. parlé d'Istambul de la mosquée Saint Sophie de la langueur sensuelle des appels à la prière des muezzins comme si mon collègue N résistait à cette sensation la langueur de toutes ses forces. vent chaud sur les jambes sensuel agreable nuages gris bleu sur fond de ciel vert tendre presque blanc. on entend les grillons ce sont les inventeurs du camouflage auditif, impossibles à localiser. dessiné dans la nuit la lune et la partie à l'ombre les nuages ça aide pour les valeurs. la chauve souris qui plonge en pivotant comme batman. trop sombre pour voir le résultat

Una de mis últimas lecturas de cómics es una historia sencilla pero densa, intensa, titulada "Diario" (Editorial La Cúpula, 1996 - 1999) cuyo autor, el francés Fabrice Neaud, quien tras estar dos años estudiando filosofía decidió estudiar artes, narra a través del realismo con el que traza sus líneas y formas, segmentos de su propia vida, de su juventud, de sus anécdotas y experiencias como joven en los años 80. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pero Neaud no es un simple caricaturista o diarista, es un completo y talentoso artista comprometido con causas sociales y preocupado por varios de los problemas que aquejan a nuestra sociedad y que quedan reflejados en sus libros, siendo éstos objetos de diferentes trabajos académicos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my last comic readings is a simple but dense, intense story titled "Diario" (Editorial La Cúpula, 1996 - 1999) whose author, the Frenchman Fabrice Neaud, who after spending two years studying philosophy decided to study the arts, tells through the realism with which he traces his lines and forms, segments of his own life, of his youth, of his anecdotes and experiences as a young man in the 80s.

October-November

Here’s a short comic. Here’s another one.

--

A Universal History of Iniquity, Jose Luis Borges

Fictions, Jose Luis Borges

Artificies, Jose Luis Borges

The Aleph, Jose Luis Borges

The Flamethrowers, Rachel Kushner

Cometbus 58, Aaron Cometbus

Comix School 6, Kevin Huizenga

Comix School 7, Kevin Huizenga

Angel of a Rope, Adam Buttrick

Now 1, ed. Eric Reynolds - Some really smart and interesting sequencing choices here. I’m always torn at editorial choices in anthologies than draw attention to themselves or are clever, but it works well here in my opinion. Underlines connections between the stories that already exist.

The Labyrinth, Saul Steinberg

--

Kept putting off the October entry so now I’m combining it with November.

Over the past several weeks I’ve become increasingly less interested in sharing my work online. At least for now. I hope I can say that without dismissing the people who have read my work in the past, all of whom I appreciate very much. I just feel more comfortable right now burrowing away, staying quiet, listening and reading -- working hard and trying to emerge with something interesting. It’s important for me to keep reading perspectives different from my own, which is something I value a great deal about social media, so I definitely won’t disengage completely. But trying to pull back.

I’m going to finally build myself a real website in the next month. A nice, simple corner of the Internet where I can live in peace and quiet when I want.

I did have a few really nice phone calls with comics friends this month. What a revolutionary idea! Call your friends on the phone! It’s generally much better that sending them funny jokes on Twitter!

I wish I had more patience and self-control. This applies to many areas of my life, but it certainly applies to comics.

I need to read more. I’ve been struggling with the idea that this is a valuable use of my creative time -- which of course it is, and especially so when time I would spend reading is instead devoted to staring at my phone or playing videogames. Again, wishing for more self-control here. It does help to have books that I enjoy; I got through the Borges and Kushner quickly once I had my hands on them.

I spend several weeks in these two months on a few stories that I’m happy with. I’m working very dense, trying to cut out all the fat, telling stories in 10 tight pages instead of 40.

In late November I started a daily practice of drawing, notetaking, and making short comics -- after skipping 30 Days of Comics for the first time since I began doing it in 2012, just because I couldn’t think of a good constraint! I don’t plan to keep at this forever, but I’ll stick with it throughout December and hope it will lead me to some interesting places. Having a daily task is a good way to keep myself doing these activities. I’ll report back with my progress.

I also went to Paris in November, was gutted to just miss David Hockney at the Pompidou but caught a Gaugin exhibition with a strong focus on his printmaking. It led me to think about applying printmaking to comics in a way I’m not sure I’ve seen done before, so I’m going to give that a try next. Kevin Huizenga on Seth’s stamp diaries will give you some sense of what I’m going for. Of course I bought some comics while I was there as well; most interestingly, I found used copies of two Ego Comme X anthologies and one Frigobox. The Ego Comme X were worth it for 60+ pages of uncollected Fabrice Neaud (including Emile, arguably best viewed as a coda to Journal) and were otherwise remarkable for how astoundingly better Neaud is than everyone else in the books outside of Aristophane. This places Neaud’s anger and arrogance in parts of Journal in a different light; he’s...not unjustified to feel like he’s better than everyone else. At least in terms of his comics, when compared to his Ego peers, he clearly is.

The Frigobox is also interesting -- I hope to write about these books if I can make time, largely to get on paper in English more of this late-90s / early-2000s period in Franco-Belgian comics history from publishers that are not l’Asso.
