The Days That Disappear

Author: Timothy Le Boucher

SUMMARY: A chase against lost time...
What would you do if you suddenly realized that you live only one day out of two? This is what happens to Lubin Marshal, a young man in his twenties who, without any memory, wakes up every morning when a whole day has passed. He discovers that during these absences, another personality takes possession of his body. Another himself with a character very different from his own, leading a life that has nothing to do. To organize this physical and temporal cohabitation, Lubin sets out to communicate with his "other", by interposed camera. But gradually, the alter ego takes over and has the body of Lubin longer and longer, the latter gradually evaporating in time... Who knows how many days he has to live before disappearing totally?
Beyond a whimsical narrative, These Days That Go Away , graphic novel in color of 200 pages with a very marked personality, raises strong questions about the identity, the duality of the being and the relationship between the body and the spirit. All along, the reader wonders if Lubin really disappears or if he has schizophrenia. Obviously, the young and talented Timothé Le Boucher, who signs here his third book, is careful not to answer it... And if this character who chases another was simply the adult man who, little by little, hunts the child who is in him?
