The jury will be chaired by designer Emmanuel Guibert, winner of the 2020 Grand Prix. An exhibition will also be dedicated to him, from January to June 2021.
In the main selection, we find Anaïs Nin, a biography of novelist Léonie Bischoff (Casterman), Rusty Town by the American Chris Ware (Delcourt), or an adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s bestseller by David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave, Sapiens, volume 1: the birth of humanity.
