Description

Epileptic is a powerful and moving graphic autobiography that explores the author's complex relationship with his brother's epilepsy. As a child, David B. struggled to cope with the frustration and fear that came with watching his big brother suffer from this debilitating disease.

The family's search for a cure led them down a series of unconventional paths, from alternative therapies to spiritual practices, but ultimately only served to deepen their pain and sense of isolation. Through his art, David B. found a way to process his emotions and relive the memories of his childhood, including his grandfather's experiences in both World Wars.

This graphic autobiography is a haunting and deeply personal portrayal of one family's struggles with epilepsy and its impact on their lives. With its unique blend of illustration and text, Epileptic offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.
