Description
Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City is a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in contemporary Jerusalem. Guy Delisle's graphic memoir offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. Through his observations, Delisle drolly recounts everyday experiences, such as checkpoints and traffic jams, while also examining the impact of conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall. Delisle's approach is sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything from his experiences in Jerusalem. This masterfully hewn travelogue provides a unique perspective on daily life in a city few are able to visit. The paperback edition includes a sixteen-page appendix featuring intimate process sketches from Delisle's time in Jerusalem, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. For those interested in understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to, this book provides a valuable insight into the complexities of contemporary Jerusalem.
