Jerusalem, Chronicles from the Holy City

1/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Peter Fergus-Moore published a review of Guy Delisle's graphic novel Jerusalem, on his blog, Walking in Bethlehem: https://walkinginbethlehem.blogspot.ca/.  See an introduction to the review below.

Picture
Canadian artist Guy Delisle is married to an administratrice for Medicins sans Frontiers and in that capacity was afforded a year's residency in Jerusalem as she worked with MSF in Hebron. 

Jerusalem, Chronicles of the Holy City (Translated by Helge Dascher), is the result. 

Delisle is well-travelled. He has lived in Pyongyang, North Korea, China and Burma before, his sojourns all chronicled in graphic novels. As an artist, he gazes at what is around him and transfer his impressions to paper in a deceptively simple, accessible drawing style. 

He also has the ability to see with a beginner's mind, open to what he encounters without judgement. This second quality, for readers aware of the true situation in the Middle East, can be somewhat annoying--former Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs) and activists for a just peace in the region know that there is little room for "objectivity" in such an unequal situation. That said, all I can add is, bear with him.
