Lauded!
“I still have chills a day after reading Killing Velazquez. The cover art, innocuous and serene, puts a panic in my chest like drowning. But this graphic novel is as important as it is disturbing. Translated from its original French, Killing Velazquez is Philippe Girard’s shocking confession of his first-hand encounter with a priest sexually abusing teenage boys in the 1980s in Quebec. In sparse, haunting panels of unsettling silence, Girard perfectly imparts the terror he faced as he became familiar with the priest, eventually winding up at his cabin. With an epigram by Brazillian author João Guimarães Rosa – “To tell is to resist” – Conundrum Press deserves to be lauded for putting out this translation of Girard’s story” – Mike Landry, Telegraph-Journal
