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! Gabrielle Bell was born in England and raised in California. Her work has been selected for the 2007- 2009- and 2010 Best American Comics and the Yale Anthology of Graphic Fiction- and she has contributed to McSweeneys- Bookforum- the Believer- and Vice. The title story of Bell's book- Cecil and Jordan in New York- has been adapted for the film anthology Tokyo! by Michel Gondry. Her latest book- The Voyeurs- was selected as one of the top five graphic novels of 2012 by Publishers Weekly. She lives in Brooklyn- New York. Refreshingly revelatory and charmingly accessible- this book follows up the previous autobiographical comics Lucky and The Voyeurs and easily solidifies Bell’s reputation as one of the greatest autobiographical cartoonists working.—Publishers Weekly- Starred Review
