Gabrielle Bell's acclaimed collection explores a spectrum of human
experience that ranges from the quotidian to the fantastical while
always maintaining reliability. The characters of these stories,
represented with a spare line, are deeply compelling, even in the finest
minutiae of their struggles and triumphs. Culled from numerous
anthologies, Cecil & Jordan in New York collects the best of Bell's
short stories and solidifies her place among today's top cartoonists.
This new softcover edition includes additional hard-to-find material not
previously included in the original edition.
Gabrielle Bell's work has been selected several times for Best American
Comics and the Yale Anthology of Graphic Fiction, and has been
featured in McSweeney's, The Believer, Bookworm, and Vice magazines.
Her story, "Cecil and Jordan In New York," was turned into a film by
Michel Gondry.
