Jerusalem

Superb book of reportage from that city. – Rachel Cooke * Observer *
His witty observation and beautiful pictures are delightful. – Sarah Ison * Times Higher Education *
A witty, wise graphic travelogue that says more about everyday life in the region than all the news reports and “gritty” features. – Chris Moss * Sunday Telegraph *
A wonderfully candid book, which makes the situation’s hideously insoluble complexities more vividly understandable than anything else I have encountered. – Rupert Christiansen * Daily Telegraph *
My other favourite graphic book of the year… makes breathtakingly light work of one of the world’s most complex political situations. – Rachel Cooke * Observer *
His [Delisle’s] quizzical, bemused approach comes as a breath of fresh air on a topic fraught with political division…the utterly distinctive drawings are as enchanting as ever. – Tim Martin * Telegraph *
Quietly living his life and observing what goes on around him, Delisle captures the craziness, beauty and tragedy of the Israel-Palestine conundrum. – Keith Kahn-Harris * Jewish Chronicle *
Jerusalem is Delisle’s biggest and most accomplished work to date… Without Delisle we might never learn what it’s actually like to live in a place like this, or get a realistic idea of the people we would meet if we did. He’s clear-eyed, good-hearted, he takes what he sees and he turns it into art. – Rev’d Hayley Campbell * New Statesman *
A brilliant, educational piece of observational journalism. * Word Magazine *
Delisle’s artwork is just stunning and accompanies the tale brilliantly. * Dog Eared Discs *
