" "Jerusalem"] is a small miracle: concise, even-handed, highly particular." "The Guardian"
""""
"Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City" is the acclaimed graphic memoirist Guy Delisle's strongest work yet, a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in contemporary Jerusalem. Delisle expertly lays the groundwork for a cultural road map of the Holy City, utilizing the classic "stranger in a strange land" point of view that made his other books required reading for understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to. "Jerusalem" explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. It eloquently examines the impact of conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays.
When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle's drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. A sixteen-page appendix to the paperback edition lets the reader behind the curtain, revealing intimate process sketches from Delisle's time in Jerusalem.
"Jerusalem" is a masterfully hewn travelogue; topping Best of 2012 lists from "The Guardian," "Paste," and the "Montreal Gazette," it was the graphic novel of the year."

"Delisle knows what he is doing." --Joe Saco

"Delisle navigates politics and culture shock with a keen eye and gentle humor." --"Mother Jones"

"[Delisle] puts everyone's triumphs, tragedies and (especially) foibles on full display. It's journalism the way journalism should be: readable, educational and, hopefully, transformative." --"Chicago Sun Times"
"[Delisle's books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there." --NPR

"Guy Delisle has entered the comics scene like a breath of fresh air." --Joe Sacco, "The National"

"Delisle navigates politics and culture shock with a keen eye and gentle humor." --"Mother Jones"

"[Delisle] puts everyone's triumphs, tragedies and (especially) foibles on full display. It's journalism the way journalism should be: readable, educational and, hopefully, transformative." --"Chicago Sun Times"

"The cultural and physical barriers among the Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities become the source of dark but gentle comedy: absurdity teetering on the edge of tragedy." --"The New York Times
""The tone of ["Jerusalem"] is by turns gently humorous and dumbfounded. His drawing style . . . suits his brisk, snapshot approach." --"Financial Times"
