Paperback. Condition: new. Thierry Chavant (illustrator). Paperback. flic(French noun, masculine)(slang, derogatory)cop; police officerFlic(noun)The gripping and groundbreaking work of French comics journalism.What happens behind the walls of a police station? What kind of living does a cop make? And how does a culture of racism and violence become entrenched? Valentin Gendrot went undercover in Paris to find the answers - revelations that rocked France and led to a series of investigations, including an internal affairs case on Gendrot himself.Flic is an expose of a world never before seen by outsiders, an urgent story for our times, powerfully illustrated by the talented Thierry Chavant.'In his intimate and revealing inside look at France's police culture, journalist Valentin Gendrot depicts his two year undercover investigation. Juxtaposed with playful feline illustrations, this shocking expose is as relevant as ever.'-New York Public Library, 'NYPL Recommends: Best New Comics for Adults''I am a criminologist, and Flic is as effective and nuanced a depiction of policing as I have encountered. That it is presented in cartoon form, with all the characters depicted as cats - well, it shouldn't work, but it does.'-Richard Evans, Inside Story'What Gendrot depicts is a world of nihilistic cynicism. Stewing in racist invective and anti-bureaucratic rage at the mountains of paperwork they are buried under, Gendrot's fellow officers come across as frustrated and thwarted. They take that anger out on usually defenseless immigrants. While Gendrot depicts many potent scenes of vindictive violence - at one point, he witnesses cops pummeling a teenager with all the vicious senselessness of a scene out of A Clockwork Orange - he also digs into the policing institution's sad state of logistical affairs. After one officer kills himself, Gendrot delves into the sense of helplessness that leads so many other police to do the same (51 in 2017). The work builds into an empathetic chronicle of human suffering, with Gendrot emerging more mystified more than outraged. It's a thought-provoking affront to any reader looking for simple solutions.'-Publishers Weekly Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
