Le parti-pris est audacieux puisque Posy Simmonds change l’époque, la nationalité (même si, ouf, on revient vite en Normandie) et la narration confiée au boulanger Joubert, étrange réincarnation d’un Flaubert qui s’ignore. Déçue n’est peut-être pas le mot. Pas convaincue serait plus juste. Posy Simmonds est parfois très fidèle à l’œuvre originale, parfois elle s’en éloigne beaucoup et cette oscillation perpétuelle m’a empêchée de m’installer dans son univers. Et j’ai trouvé Gemma Bovery beaucoup plus superficielle et finalement assez détestable, quand Emma Bovary m’avait émue au plus haut point. Amusant, donc, oui. Exercice de style plutôt original, oui. Mais ne pas chercher à trop creuser, au risque d’être très vite déçu. raton-liseur | Jan 5, 2019 | ) Ma_Washigeri | May 27, 2018 |  ) questbird | Nov 14, 2017 |
 In this parody, few characters come out well, and the true end is silly, a let-down, just like life. Literature has reason; life has humor in spite of itself.  There is more than just drawing going on here, of course. There is pacing - [Gemma Bovery] moves from illustrated text to straight comic strip and back again - and there is the prose, from the narrative frame of Joubert, the nosy, creepy baker (for whom we feel a strange kind of pity), to Gemma's diaries, and down to the speech-bubbles of all the characters. Simmonds has, in this sense, two kinds of blank paper staring at her every morning, and she should be honoured for filling them so perfectly, with such a combination of daring and what looks like effortlessness. That she has to do two nationalities as well - would she perhaps care to make things more difficult for herself next time? And, please, can there be a next time very, very soon? She is the greatest.

Gemma is the bored, pretty second wife of Charlie Bovery, the reluctant stepmother of his children and the bate-noire of his ex-wife. Gemma's sudden windfall and distaste for London take them across the Channel to Normandy, where the charms of French country living soon wear off. Is it a coincidence that Gemma Bovery has a name rather like Flaubert's notorious heroine? Is it by chance that, like Madame Bovary, Gemma is bored, adulterous, and a bad credit risk? Is she inevitably doomed? These questions consume Gemma's neighbour, the intellectual baker, Joubert. Denying voyeurism, but nevertheless noting every change in the fit of her jeans, every addition to Gemma's wardrobe, her love-bites and lovers, Joubert, with the help of the heroine's diaries, follows her path towards ruin. Adultery and its consequences. Disappointment and deception. The English in France. Fat and slim. Then and now. Many familiar ingredients of the novel are given new life in Gemma Bovery's unique graphic form. Like Posy Simmond's legendary cartoon strips featuring the Weber family, Gemma Boverywas published in weekly parts in the Guardian. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
