Monsieur Lambert Summary

Monsieur Lambert by Anthea Bell

The fifth book by Jean-Jacques Sempe to be published in English by Phaidon, Monsieur Lambert is a gentle, sophisticated and unmistakably French illustrated story for adults. In this short graphic novel, Sempe shows us a glimpse of life in a small Parisian bistro. The restaurant and its regulars are vividly brought to life in a series of drawings which, together with the handwritten speech bubbles and laconic texts, display Sempe's usual unerring eye and ear for the telling details of human behaviour.

Monsieur Lambert Reviews

Sempe goes about showing us up with great good nature. ... his drawing is consistently delightful.-Anthea Bell, Sunday Telegraph

Drawings [that] are eloquent in every language.-Quentin Blake, The Week

[Sempe] is, par excellence, the master of the panoramic cartoon... Captions [...] have been brilliantly translated by Anthea Bell... There are many talented French cartoonists. [...] [Sempe] is the most universal... Sempe cartoons are a kind of illustrative haiku. In such small space he conveys a great amount of meaning... An infinite delight in the complexity and ambivalence - and the humour - of the everyday and the ordinary.-The Independent

[Sempe] started life as a journeyman cartoonist, drawing single gags. From there he has gradually broadened out and blossomed, acquiring colour and boldness and breadth, until it is hard to call him anything but an artist... You can't really lose with Sempe.-The Spectator
