About the author
Lubie Lou
Lou Lubie is originally from Reunion Island, where she published her first five books: two novels for younger readers, and three comic books. In 2008, she founded the Forum Dessiné, a community website that allows artists of all origins and skill levels to create digital comics together. In 2016, she published "Goupil ou face," a popular science comic book that humorously explains cyclothymia, a mood disorder. In 2019, her collaborative experience on the Forum Dessiné inspired her to create "La Fille dans l'écran," a comic book co-written and co-illustrated with Manon Desveaux telling the story of a long-distance relationship. The graphic novel is unique for its atypical format: each author draws a character on the opposite page, thus allowing their parallel lives to unfold. The graphic novel "L'Homme de la situation" is her eighth book (Dupuis 2021; "The Man for the Job," Europe Comics).
