Omschrijving
In her early thirties, Claudia is fast becoming a sensation on the
culinary scene. Amid putting her chic London restaurant, Alley,
on the map, she decides to enter the upcoming Chef of the Year
competition. All this, as she is also attempting to make a name
for herself beyond the shadow of her famous chef father. As the
day of the competition nears, tensions simmer as the pressures
of ambition, business, family, and friendship threaten to throw
her world awry.
In The Pass, NYT-reviewed British comic artist Katriona Chapman brings to life the fast-paced, high-pressure atmosphere of
restaurant life, with a lived-in cast of characters including chef
Claudia, her best friend and sous chef Lisa, and barman Ben. Chapman delves into themes of identity, the pains of expectation and
success, and the allure of running from the life you’ve built. A sensitive and affecting slice of life, rendered in soft digital coloring.
