Pachyderme (SelfMadeHero)

Pachyderme (SelfMadeHero)

Â
This cinematic tale opens surrealistically: with a traffic jam caused by a wounded elephant. Our heroine, Carice, abandons her car and walks trancelike through a wood to visit her husband in the hospital. Along the way she meets a few odd characters, including a blind pig keeper and an alien-looking baby. The surreal encounters do not stop there. The hospital is eerie and foreboding. When Cariceâ€™s whistling wakes up an apparently dead body in the morgue, she soon realizes that the aged cadaver sheâ€™s talking to is her future self.

Praise for Pachyderme:

Â“Peetersâ€™ tale of self-discovery is enthralling; in the authorâ€™s hands, Cold War paranoia and thoughtfully subverted realist art provides commentary on other kinds of secrets, other kinds of betrayals and the conflict between duty and need.â€ Â—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Â“Peetersâ€™ evocative artworkÂ—inspired equally, it seems, by classic Hollywood and the great horror comics of mid-centuryÂ—makes every page eye-catching.â€ Â—Slate
