Maroh’s latest book, \u003cem\u003eBody Music\u003c\/em\u003e, marks her return to the kind of soft, warm palette and impressionistic sensibility that made her debut book so sensational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the languid, European-like neighborhoods of Montreal, \u003cem\u003eBody Music\u003c\/em\u003e is a beautiful and moving meditation on love and desire as expressed in their many different forms—between women, men, and gender non-conformists alike, all varying in age and race. In twenty separate vignettes, Maroh explores the drama inherent in relationships at different stages: the electricity of initial attraction, the elation of falling in love, the trauma of breaking up, the sweet comfort of a long-standing romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone who’s ever been in a relationship will see themselves in these intimate stories tinged with raw emotion. \u003cem\u003eBody Music\u003c\/em\u003e is an exhilarating and passionate graphic novel about what it means to fall in love, and what it means to be alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulie Maroh\u003c\/strong\u003e studied comic art at the Institute Saint-Luc in Brussels and lithography and engraving at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels.
