Let's Be Happy But Not Show it

The charming and humorous adventures of a handsome Parisian novelist, as recounted with a uniquely European sensibility. PUBLICATION IN 5 VOLUMES - COMPLETED WORK. Monsieur Jean is a young writer whose everyday life and its inescapable existential woes are comedically told by the talented team of Dupuy & Berberian, winners of the 2008 Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême. Whether it's the unexpected visit of an old friend, a trip to his in-laws, the arrival of a child, the frustrations of writer's block, or even dealing with his moody landlady, Monsieur Jean's life and times all share a tenderness and a dash of irony. A series full of the nostalgia and droll absurdity that invariably come with adulthood.
