The Drunken Sailor
£20.00
'The Drunken Sailor' traces the life of Arthur Rimbaud: poet, surrealist, libertine and gun runner. In dazzling artwork, Nick Hayes follows Rimbaud from his youth in Ardennes to the poetry salons of Paris, from the absinthe-glazed passion of his relationship with Verlaine to his flight into the jungles of Indonesia and the deserts of Yemen and Egypt. Told entirely in Rimbaud's own words, from a new translation of Le bateau ivre, 'The Drunken Sailor' confirms Nick Hayes' place as one of the most talented graphic novelists at work today.

Magnificent illustrations… [Hayes] has done a wondrous job… his visual narrative has an intense, restless pace… here is a ribald beauty you find only rarely between two covers.
The Observer - Rachel Cooke
At once phantasmagorical and bewitching… the best of his career so far.
Bookmunch
Hayes's green-filtered, stylised illustrations have a breathtaking punch to them.
Herald Scotland - Teddy Jamieson
The Drunken Sailor is an Impressionist hymn to Rimbaud. But Hayes' song is greatly embellished with knowledge... You run the gamut when you read this book.
Bookmunch
A bewitching work from one of Britain's finest graphic novelists.
