Pressestimmen
“[Delisle’s books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there.” —NPR
“Guy Delisle has entered the comics scene like a breath of fresh air.” —Joe Sacco, The National
“Delisle navigates politics and culture shock with a keen eye and gentle humor.” —Mother Jones
“[Delisle] puts everyone’s triumphs, tragedies and (especially) foibles on full display. It’s journalism the way journalism should be: readable, educational and, hopefully, transformative.” —Chicago Sun Times
Kurzbeschreibung
"Neither Jewish nor Arab, Delisle explores Jerusalem and is able to observe this strange world with candidness and humor...But most of all, those stories convey what life in East Jerusalem is about for an expatriate."—Haaretz
"Engaging...[ Delisle] highlights the very complex lives of Israelis, Palestinians, and foreign residents."—Publishers Weekly Starred Review
Guy Delisle expertly lays the groundwork for a cultural road map of contemporary Jerusalem, utilizing the classic stranger in a strange land point of view that made his other books, Pyongyang, Shenzhen, and Burma Chronicles required reading for understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to. In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays.
When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle’s drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle’s mastery of the travelogue.

Accessible and Beautiful Illustration of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
26. April 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Delisle provides an illustration of the conflict between Israel and Palestine that is very accessible to the average person. While I read various newspapers and consider myself to be aware of current events in Israel, I never fully understood the role of the settlers, Arabs, Israelis, ultra-orthodox Jews, etc. as well as I now do after reading Delisle's Jerusalem.
While this is certainly partially a travelogue, Delisle does a wonderful job with the rhythm of telling his story of his time there. This does not read as just a reporting of what happened, but has a beginning, middle and end. The art is simple and beautiful, conveying a sense of feeling of place.
Delisle's style in storytelling through words and images offers a light touch to very heavy subjects. As I read the work, I felt that he was as unbiased of a person that you're going to come across on these issues. He is delicate, but not afraid to present details about what he observes. I also appreciated his humor regarding the challenges of his time there, such as finding playgrounds for his young children and other ways of entertaining them.

Having enjoyed all the past works of Guy Delisle I really looked forward to reading his latest offering about living in Jerusalem. He did not disappoint! Delisle lets the reader experience foreign places in unique graphic novels filled with interesting and sometimes quirky observations about life, people, shopping, holidays, social customs, and playgrounds. Delisle's art fits his work perfectly; simple clean lines that sing with personality, yet detailed backgrounds and occasional snapshot panels that nicely define the location. I always read Delisle books more than once; there is so much to take in! My wife and daughter both read them too. They are great books to discuss as a family. Well worth your time and money!

Can't we all just get along?
13. Mai 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Guy Delisle travels to Jerusalem with his partner and their two kids for a year. His partner is an administrator for "Doctors Without Borders" and Delisle spends the year working on his comics, looking after the kids, and exploring/trying to understand the city of Jerusalem and its peoples.
If you've read Delisle's work before you'll know he goes to hard-to-reach places and reports on his time there (North Korea, China, Burma) and that the resulting travelogues are always entertaining and enlightening - just like this latest book.
The book isn't a polemic nor is it meant to explain the region or the history, it's really just a memoir/travelogue of his time there. So there is equal parts of his time describing his everyday duties looking after the kids and going to parties, making friends, as much as there is encountering and observing violence from bombings in Gaza, to the numerous checkpoints and outright chaos of this area.
The reader gets to see how bizarre Jerusalem is. The city is divided into Christian quarters, Jewish quarters, and Muslim quarters, where literally one side of the street a woman can wear what she likes and on the other she must be covered head to foot. The constant military presence and day to day reminders of violence - everyone carries a gun, not just soldiers. The shrillness of the piercing calls to prayer echo throughout the city whether you are religious or not. The ridiculously high number of checkpoints everywhere, the constant traffic jams...
As an atheist myself, it's hard to believe that this troubled region is because of one group believing one thing over another leading to literally millennia of conflict. As such, it's incredibly shocking how people will be so petty over everything. One contested house becomes demolished, another goes up - years pass, the house is demolished/taken over, another goes up. And on and on. And the bizarre behaviour of Orthodox Jews who are just flat out racist and violent toward anybody who isn't an Orthodox Jew themselves, is just terrifying.
Delisle doesn't take sides on whether he believes one side is right over another, he's an atheist himself and does his best to present all sides of the argument. Through his fresh eyes the reader sees the area as if they were visiting it themselves. It's a fascinating look at a troubled region, told memorably and filled with excellent artwork throughout all by Delisle, who has once again written/drawn a wonderful book on a strange part of our world with characteristic good humour and intelligence.
