Guillem March

The sequel to Guillem March's 2017 Collection Book "Summer Muse" However, it may be more appropriate to call Summer Muse 2, a supplementary rather than a sequel. Again the main focus of the books is March's drawings of woman on nude's beaches in Spain. However Summer Muse 2 is considerably half the length of the original and the art is considerably less varied in style, mostly uncolored ink drawings. March still shows the quality he is known form but f one would like to get aan better idea of March's work the original Summer Muse would probably be sufficient.… (mehr)

Guillem March isn't much of a writer, but he certainly can draw.

Laura ~ 2 stars

A woman in her twenties flounders around romantically after a break-up. Meandering and dull with characters that didn't do anything for me.

Irene ~ 2 stars

Metafiction nonsense pays homage to Porco Rosso and director Hayao Miyazaki while the author lays out all his personal shortcomings that helped to make "Laura" such an unsatisfying story.

Muse ~ 4 stars

Rebeca watches her flatmate cast about frantically for a nude model to complete his art class assignment. March's art finally has a story with which it is perfectly suited as it reveals nuance of thought without all the overwrought dialogue and angst cluttering up the page. The story reminded me of a subplot in the recent horror movie X (2022) which I watched last week.
