Raoul Taburin loves bicycles and knows everything about them (from how to fix a puncture or a broken chain, to silencing a squeaky break pad). The only thing he doesn't know is how to ride one. When a photographer cornes to town it's not a fact he wants to share.

Raoul Taburin Keeps a Secret is a witty and charming graphie novel by one of the world's best loved illustrators. In true Sempé style Raoul Taburin identifies some of the most telling aspects of human nature alongside sideways discussions of art, photography, existentialism and, of course, bicycles.
