Céline Claire

"Pocos libros tienen un poder de visión tan grande como Viaje al final de la noche. Visión intensa: la de la revelación de la miseria, de la guerra, de la enfermedad interminable, de la muerte. La frase se concentra, lo identifica todo, no perdona nada. Visión itinerante y prodigiosamente variada después: partimos de la Place Clichy, nos encontramos en varias masacres a caballo, luego en un África aplastante, luego ahogados en Nueva York, en Detroit, luego nuevamente en los suburbios de París (el suburbio de Céline, un meticuloso círculo del infierno), luego en las cercanías de Toulouse, y finalmente en un asilo psiquiátrico como ningún otro. La muerte al principio y al final. La sinfonía agitada de la noche infinita para nada.

The parents of the young Céline send her to the countryside to the brave cousin Bernard. If he knows how to recognize the charms of his rather pretty cousin, his friend Antoine dreams of making her his mistress, better still, his sex toy. He will achieve his ends, brutalizing his conquest, who seems to find pleasure in increasingly perverse embraces. Céline, who discovers a particularly hot temper, agrees to share Antoine with her friends, then with a group of young people who live in the village…

On a Claire Day is an internationally syndicated comic strip created by Henry Beckett and Carla Ventresca and launched in 2006. It is based around the life of fictional character Claire Bennett, an insecure and naive young woman, who has left her parents' home to live on her own. She is accompanied by her dog Bradley and visits frequently with Sammi, her elegant, financially savvy, and impatient best friend; Jeff, her guy's guy neighbor, who's happy working construction and doesn't understand Claire's ambition or life issues; her "out there" Oprah-fanatic mom and her "work hard or you're worth nothing" dad; and the perfect neighbors, Pasha and James, who seem to do everything with an ease and flair Claire can't achieve or imagine possessing herself. On a Claire Day is distributed by Creators Syndicate in Los Angeles. It runs in many newspapers around the country and is being developed into a television show.
