Beginning as a young Parisian bachelor, defeatist writer, and urban \u003ci\u003ebon vivant\u003c\/i\u003e, Jean has reluctantly transitioned into a family man of forty, learning how to live with, and ultimately love those around him unconditionally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstantly surrounded by a group of childhood classmates, an unbearably idealistic live-in friend Felix and his adopted son, Eugene, as well as his sweet daughter Julie, Jean questions life and those of others in an honest and endearing way; his unmistakable \u003ci\u003ejoie de vivre\u003c\/i\u003e always undermined by a palpable sense of cynicism. The joy of these award-winning cartoons stems from that fact that Jean’s weaknesses are our own; his doubts about life, universal; his relentless quest for happiness understood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith their unique collaboration, both writing and drawing each Monsieur Jean story, celebrated French cartoonists Dupuy \u0026amp; Berberian prove time and time again just how powerful and seductive a simple, yet elegantly told story can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032292573424,"sku":"9781770462885","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770462885_p0.jpg?v=1763707288","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770462885","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
