Summary
Frederik Peeters: Pahiderm
"Pahiderm is a perfect example of a vivid and poetic graphic novel that manages to convey a sense of the unconscious, enigmatic." I have the impression that Pachyderm remains mysterious even to an author who let his story wander where the pen took him, to live his life, and who paid great attention to both the storytelling and the quality of his art. Pachyderm describes my own discomfort. I want the artist to take me away from everything I've felt before, into territory that isn't so much a distortion as a reflection of some inner, powerful urge. In Pachyderm lies something mysterious and obvious which, above all, must not be explained." – Jean G.
