Words and Images in Lyon

 These cartoons, created for World Book Day 2018 by a host of international cartoonists, were displayed in a square we walked through in Lyon this past May.

 You'll have to squint a bit to read them, and you might want to enlarge them for a better view, but I hope you'll find them as insightful and funny and wise and moving as we did that Sunday, knowing we shouldn't linger too long (the weather forecast threatened rain, and we were already feeling the odd sprinkle), but unable to pull ourselves away.

 The simple brilliance of this project -- celebrating the power of the book wordlessly, in images -- seems especially relevant to me today, once again miserly measuring out words for this blog because I've spent so many this morning on pages I hope might someday themselves become a book. . .

 More than my solipstic relation to this ode to book culture, though, the project offers so much important commentary on books as antidote to so many political and social issues of the moment, and the various national perspectives are worth considering.

 You'll find the nationality in lighter font after each cartoonist's name. . .

If I'd been more organized, I should have published this one on its own, yesterday, on Canada Day. . .

I'm pleased to say that by spending my words carefully and prioritizing that long-form project over the last year or so, I've now amassed over 200 pages, and after the six-week hiatus of our May-June travel, I've managed (barely) to meet an exchange deadline with my writing partner. So it's encouraging to think that so many clever folk still think that books matter. . . I only hope that my words, with considerable revision, will someday approach the eloquence these cartoonists manage with no words at all.
