The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthys Pulitzer Prizewinning postapocalyptic classic, The Road, approved and authorized by McCarthy and illustrated by acclaimed cartoonist Manu Larcenet The story of a nameless father and son trying to survive with their humanity intact in a postapocalyptic wasteland where Earths natural resources have been diminished, and some survivors are left to raise others for meat, The Road is one of Cormac McCarthys bleakest and most prescient novels. Dedicated to his son, John Francis McCarthy, McCarthys The Road is one of his most personal novels. Ranked 17th on The Guardians 100 Best Novels of the 21st century, it was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for literature, the James Tait Black Memorial Award, the Believer Award, and was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.This first official graphic novel adaptation of McCarthys work is illustrated by acclaimed French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who ably transforms the world depicted by McCarthys spare and brutal prose into stark ink drawings that add an additional layer to this haunting tale of family love and human perseverance. Cormac McCarthy personally approved the making of this book before his death, and the adaptation bears the approval of the McCarthy estate.

Compilée par Emma Acker, conservatrice du musée, Artistic California est une collection d'art visuel, comprenant des oeuvres de nombreuses personnalités, qui illustre les paysages et la culture de la Californie. Des vastes panoramas de l'Ouest américain du XIXe siècle aux oeuvres qui reflètent les préoccupations des artistes vivant et travaillant en Californie aujourd'hui, les peintures, dessins et estampes de la collection permanente des Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco présentés ici véhiculent une image multiforme du Golden State. L'art réalisé en Californie constitue un élément essentiel de la collection de l'institution et témoigne du soutien que les musées apportent depuis des décennies aux artistes de la région. Soulignant l'étendue et la qualité de la collection des musées, les oeuvres reproduites dans Artistic California célèbrent l'étonnante beauté naturelle, l'idéalisme utopique et les perspectives positives d'une région qui a longtemps alimenté les quêtes incessantes de ses habitants en matière de percées technologiques, d'évolution et de révolution sociales, et de développement personnel, professionnel et créatif. Dans le même temps, l'État est également l'épicentre d'un grand nombre des défis les plus graves auxquels l'Amérique est confrontée, notamment les écarts de richesse croissants, les populations sans logement et les effets catastrophiques du changement climatique. L'art produit en Californie révèle le dynamisme et la diversité des personnes et des lieux de la région, tout en reflétant ces questions complexes et la manière dont notre compréhension de celles-ci a évolué au fil du temps.
