Publicity
It was a little over 6 years ago, January 7, 2015. A carnage, rue Nicolas-Appert in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
Twelve dead and eleven wounded from bullets from the Kouachi brothers' assault rifles.
And an immense trauma, for the survivors of course, but also for the whole of France and beyond, for all defenders of freedom of expression.
Six years later, one of the survivors of the Charlie-Hebdo massacre,
Coco
, recounts her January 7, in a poignant album that also tells us about her fight to rebuild herself, using her pencil.
Between anxieties and a feeling of guilt, between happy memories and a fierce desire to resist and fight, here is “Dessiner encore”, published by Les Arènes-BD.
