Marc Mauguin has long contemplated the paintings of Edward Hopper, and from this inspiration was born a fictional space in which the trajectories of various characters,  ranging from endearing or cynical and almost always victims or torturers, cross paths in unexpected ways. From one painting to another, the author weaves together a universe that is sensitive and poetic, yet without compromise for human nature.

Writing as original and exceptional as Hopper’s paintbrush strokes.
