A father, the new comic strip of Jean-Louis Tripp, is a work of rare intensity, at the crossroads of autobiographical testimony, of the graphic novel and the family psychoanalysis.

In this poignant story, the author traces his marked childhood by a young and loving father, and the upheavals that follow the birth of his brother and sister. The exclusive attention the eldest son once enjoyed is then replaced by a tense daily life, punctuated by the marital conflicts.

Far from being a settling of scores, this book aims above all to be a act of love modest and clear-sighted, a tribute to a complex paternal figure, both distant and fundamentally present.
