Les Escalopes. Sébastien Lumineau

In French, Softcover, 13 x 18 cm, 128 pages. 2018, Les Requins Marteaux (BD CUL collection)

In this title of the BD CUL collection, author Sébastien Lumineau introduces us to Michel, a lonely and somewhat melancholic protagonist, a culinary enthusiast with a peculiar fetish: the smooth texture of fresh turkey cutlets. The story takes a surreal turn when, interrupted mid-pleasure by the unexpected arrival of his girlfriend and her starving friends, Michel decides to improvise a snack laced with his own 'secret ingredient.' The result is a night of debauchery and gastronomic ecstasy that no one remembers the next morning—except for Michel himself, who becomes eager to test his special recipe once again. Blending mundane daily life with dark, erotic humor, Les Escalopes is a satirical comedy that explores the limits of desire and kitchen improvisation.
