The unnamed protagonist of G\u00e9b\u00e9\u2019s <\/em>Letter to Survivors<\/a> is a mail carrier who traverses a barren, desertlike landscape on a bicycle. Because this story takes place in the aftermath of some probably nuclear apocalypse, he wears a hazmat suit, his mask protruding comically like a duck\u2019s bill. He travels from bunker to bunker, shouting the contents of strange letters down to former suburbanites huddled in dim squalor. Never before available in English, <\/em>Letter to Survivors\u00a0has just been published by New York Review Comics<\/a>\u00a0in a translation by Edward Gauvin. Below, the postman arrives with a message describing a painter who gets paid by a mysterious fat cat to black out, square by square, an original Modigliani.<\/em><\/p>\n

G\u00e9b\u00e9 (Georges Blondeaux, 1929\u20132004) was a fixture of the French press for almost fifty years. He was best known as a cartoonist, but he was also an author, lyricist, screenwriter, and dramatist; a maker of short films and photo-novels; and a beloved editor and nurturer of new talent. From 1970 to 1985, he was the editor in chief of <\/em>Charlie Hebdo. He returned when the weekly was reborn in 1992 and served as the editorial director until his death.<\/em><\/p>\n

Edward Gauvin has translated more than three hundred graphic novels, including Blutch\u2019s <\/em>Peplum (NYR Comics). His work has won the John Dryden translation prize and the Science Fiction & Fantasy Translation Award and has been nominated for the French-American Foundation and Oxford Weidenfeld translation prizes. He is a contributing editor for comics at <\/em>Words without Borders and has written on the Francophone fantastic at <\/em>Weird Fiction Review. Other publications have appeared in the <\/em>New York Times, <\/em>Harper\u2019s Magazine, <\/em>Tin House, <\/em>World Literature Today, and <\/em>Subtropics.<\/em><\/p>\n
