Critics Review
The tone of [ Jerusalem ] is by turns gently humorous and dumbfounded. His drawing style … suits his brisk, snapshot approach.
[Jerusalem] is a small miracle: concise, even-handed, highly particular. -The Guardian
Guy Delisle
Born in Quebec City, Canada, in 1966, Guy Delisle now lives in the south of France with his wife and two children. Delisle spent ten years working in animation, which allowed him to learn about movement and drawing. He is best known for his travelogues about life in faraway countries: Burma Chronicles, Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Pyongyang, and Shenzhen. He has since expanded his oeuvre by telling a Doctors Without Borders acquaintance’s story as a nail-biting thriller (Hostage) and revisiting his teen years and first summer job (Factory Summers).
