Description

Now in paperback, a “tender, affecting” (NYTBR) memoir unlike any other, and the first book to appear in English by the acclaimed Belgian artist Dominique Goblet.

In a series of dazzling fragments—skipping through time, and from raw, slashing color to delicate black-and-white—Dominique Goblet examines the most important relationships in her life: with her partner, Guy Marc; with her daughter, Nikita; and with her parents.

The result is an unnerving comedy of paternal dysfunction, an achingly ambivalent love story (with asides on Thomas Pynchon and the Beach Boys), and a searing account of childhood trauma—a dizzying, unforgettable view of a life in progress and a tour de force of the art of comics.

About the Author

Dominique Goblet was born in Brussels, Belgium, and studied illustration at St. Luke’s Institute. Involved from the start in the creation of the experimental-comics publisher Frémok, she published several books with them. At the same time she worked with the Parisian publishing house L’Association and published two books with them, including Pretending Is Lying. Artist, comics author, and professor of comics and illustration, she is also certified as an electrician, plumber, and welder.

Sophie Yanow is a cartoonist and translator. She is the author of the autobiographical comic books War of Streets and Houses and What Is a Glacier? and of the Eisner Award–winning graphic novel The Contradictions.
