The Voyeurs is the work of a mature writer, if not one of the most
sincere voices of her literary generation. It's a fun, honest read that
spans continents, relationships and life decisions. I loved it.--Chris
Ware, Acme Novelty Library
As she watches other people living life, and watches herself watching
them, Bell's pen becomes a kind of laser, first illuminating the surface
distractions of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a deeper
reality that is almost too painful and too beautiful to bear.-- Alison
Bechdel, Fun Home
A master of the exquisite detail, Bell provides a welcome peephole into
our lives.--Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker
I don't think I could tolerate her if she wasn't so talented.--Michel
Gondry, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Voyeurs is a real-time memoir of a turbulent five years in the
life of renowned cartoonist, diarist, and filmmaker Gabrielle Bell. It
collects episodes from her award-winning series Lucky, in which she
travels to Tokyo, Paris, the South of France, and all over the United
States, but remains anchored by her beloved Brooklyn, where sidekick
Tony provides ongoing insight, offbeat humor, and enduring friendship.
Gabrielle Bell's work has been selected for the 2007, 2009, 2010,
and 2011 Houghton-Mifflin Best American Comics and the Yale Anthology
of Graphic Fiction, and has been featured in McSweeney's, The
Believer, and Vice magazines. Cecil and Jordan In New York, the title
story of her most recent book, was adapted for the screen by Bell and
director Michel Gondry in the film anthology Tokyo! She lives in
Brooklyn, New York.
