New Review of Anouck Durand’s Eternal Friendship on The Comics Journal


The title says it all – my first review for The Comics Journal was published this morning. The book is Anouck Durand’s Eternal Friendship. The book was originally published in France as Amitié Éternelle, and translated by Elizabeth Zuba for the small US-based publisher Siglio Press. In it, Durand uses official and personal photographs from Albanian state photographers to create a story of friendship, politics, and totalitarian power.
