The new production of Pato Lógico, directed by Ricardo Henriques (text) and Nicolau (illustrations), is slightly inspired on the film Rear Window, with James Stewart and Grace Kelly, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954. The more curious readers will be able to find in First Floor Right creative restlessness and a tribute to Hal Pereira, Hitchcock’s art director.

Description

This book is for people who enjoy people watching, just like Graça, the main character of a story told with creative colours, criminal outlines and strokes of international conspiracy. Graça suspects that her neighbour across the street is planning a robbery. True or false? Who knows? On our way, we will get to know the many lives inhabiting the building in front: the clients of Dias Coffee Shop, a musician who gives concerts to the neighbours and a misunderstood photographer, among other characters. Who is watching whom? More will be known at the end of the ongoing investigation.

Author

Ricardo Henriques
Born in Lisbon, he inherited the taste for drawing from his father and writing from his mother. He is the editor of a children’s magazine and author of Sea and Theatre, illustrated by André Letria and published by Pato Lógico. In between books, he does graphic novels, advertising and press copywriting. After Heads or tails? The Short Story of the Coin (Official Printing Office), First Floor Right is his second book with Nicolau.

Nicolau
He was born in Vila Nova de Cerveira, in 1986, studied design and has travelled the country as a musician. Amongst paper, screen and wall, he looks for the space between the immediate and the perfection, with humor and some degree of relevance. Recently, he worked for Casa da Música, Oporto’s subway, Lisbon Public Libraries, Official Printing Office, among others. He organizes, with Joana Estrela, the collective drawing nights of Drink&Draw in Oporto, city where he rides his bike.
