# Boris the Potato Child - Hardcover

by **Anne Simon** (Author), **Jenna Allen** (Translator)

Boris, the round-headed child, reigns like a despot in the little house he lives in with his mother. His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene's fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The third book in Anne Simon's "Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel series (after _The Song of Aglaia_ and _Empress Cixtisis_), _Boris the Potato Child_ delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that's mightier than any man's sword.
