Truth Is Fragmentary: Travelogues & Diaries

By Gabrielle Bell

Book Overview

Cartoonist Studio Prize Shortlist 2014

For an impoverished cartoonist, I do an awful lot of international traveling.

Raw, bare-boned, scathingly funny dispatches from the renowned comic diarist Gabrielle Bell, with biting cultural commentary mixed with her signature introspective, self-deprecating humor, and surreal digressions (from car-driving bears, through Zombie Apocalypses, to cute babies, and . . . more bears ) as she visits France, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Colombia, back to Brooklyn, and finally landing in upstate New York. In Truth is Fragmentary Gabrielle Bell proves she can be . . . funny
