Now in paperback,a tender, affecting (NYTBR) memoir unlike any other, and the first book to appear in English by the acclaimed Belgian artist Dominique Goblet.

In a series of dazzling fragmentsskipping through time, and from raw, slashing color to delicate black-and-whiteDominique Goblet examines the most important relationships in her life: with her partner, Guy Marc; with her daughter, Nikita; and with her parents.

The result is an unnerving comedy of paternal dysfunction, an achingly ambivalent love story (with asides on Thomas Pynchon and the Beach Boys), and a searing account of childhood traumaa dizzying, unforgettable view of a life in progress and a tour de force of the art of comics.
