A debut book from well renowned Belgian graphic novelist. An ode to the author' s beloved couch in 12 absurd little tales. The object of his affection is celebrated with a poetic structure: a short poem accompanied by an illustration followed by a mostly wordless comic mirroring the central theme of the poem. An ironic autobiography.

Wide Vercnocke' s debut My Muse Lies On The Settee surprised and astonished as a poetic graphic novel in which the line work was as fluent as the prose. ' -Bart Croonenborghs, brokenfrontier. com
Wide Vercnocke (b. 1985) studied at Sint-Lukas n Brussels, where he obtained a Master' s degree in Visual Arts, Graphic Design department. His graduation work immediately became his first published comic: My Muse Lies On The Settee. This was followed by Wild meat (2014), Narwal (2016) and Drieman (2020). In between, he works as a freelancer, his drawings have appeared in Humo, Focus Knack and De Standaard or as large murals. As an illustrator he is also associated with De Sprekende Ezels, a stage for poetry, word and music. He describes himself as a ' writer and illustrator of tear-jerkers' . In his graphic novels, he combines a fascinating drawing style with often abstract but poetic stories, in which physicality plays an important role. Language and image are given equal weight, and Vercnocke plays deftly with both. He is building an oeuvre that is impressively unique and unconventional.
