Hors-jeu - Matthieu Chiara - 21 x 27 cm - 160 pages - hard cover - €22.90 -
April 2016
The author has come up with a wide range of characters, including prehistoric men, a referee, a lawnmower, homeless people, a prostitute, players, a coach and sports presenters, who all have something to do with football. These short, humorous sketches plunge readers into unexpected stories. Like a film, each scene leads to the next. With its captivating fineliner drawings, cutting humour and powerful plot, this funny and metaphysical take on football is a real treat.
