Abstract:
The Drunken Sailor traces the life of Arthur Rimbaud: poet, surrealist, libertine and mercenary. In dazzling artwork, Nick Hayes follows Rimbaud from his youth in Ardennes to the salons of literary Paris, from the absinthe-glazed passion of his relationship with Verlaine to his flight into the jungles of Indonesia and the deserts of Yemen and Egypt. Using Rimbaud's own words in a new translation of Le bateau ivre, The Drunken Sailor confirms Nick Hayes' place as one of the most talented graphic novelists at work today.
