A Paris photographer’s unsettling transformation

David Zimmerman’s work photographing weddings and bar mitzvahs sits alongside a life marked by uncertainty and isolation. A New Year’s Eve party brings him into contact with an enigmatic woman; afterward, he wakes in her body. That abrupt change sets the graphic novel’s mystery in motion and connects its personal premise to questions of identity, sexuality, loneliness, and body dysmorphia. The Paris setting and the focus on a working photographer give the story a grounded starting point for its unusual turn.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in crime and mystery graphic novels
  • Readers drawn to stories exploring identity, sexuality, loneliness, and body dysmorphia
  • Readers interested in graphic novels built around a speculative transformation

Book overview

A captivating graphic novel from the Harari brothers: Lucas, the author-illustrator of the graphic novel Swimming in Darkness, and Arthur, the Oscar-winning co-writer of the Palme d'Or-winning film Anatomy of a Fall


In Paris, David Zimmerman, a photographer in his thirties, seems perpetually adrift in life, consigned to a career photographing weddings and bar mitzvahs. On New Year's Eve, he's taken to a huge party by his only friend, Harry; in the middle of the crowd, his gaze falls upon an enigmatic young woman whose summons he can't help but follow. In the dead of night, David wakes up ... in the body of the woman he met earlier.
