Pretending is Lying by Dominique Goblet
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 fragments-skipping through time, and from raw, slashing color to delicate black-and-white-Dominique 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 trauma-a dizzying, unforgettable view of a life in progress and a tour de force of the art of comics.
Sophie Yanow grew up in the woods north of San Francisco before moving to Montreal, Quebec in the fall of 2011 for an artist residency at La Maison de la Bande Dessinée, where she joined the Colosse comics collective. Under the title In Situ, she published a compilation of journal comics documenting her move to Montreal with Colosse, a tribute to site-specificity in her creative process. She's also worked on projects like the 48 Heures de la Bande Dessinée, the strike-related website Manif de Bonhommes, and the strike zine La Hausse en Question in Montreal. Her art has also appeared in Top Shelf Comix and The Rumpus, among other places. She currently resides in Montreal.
