Gabrielle Bell's acclaimed collection explores a spectrum of human experience that ranges from the quotidian to the fantastical while always maintaining reliability. The characters of these stories, represented with a spare line, are deeply compelling, even in the finest minutiae of their struggles and triumphs. Culled from numerous anthologies, Cecil & Jordan in New York truly collects the best of Bell's short stories which solidified her place among today's top cartoonists. The title story became a film directed by Michel Gondry. This new softcover edition includes additional hard to find material not previously included in the original.
