Epileptic HC

Description

The most acclaimed European graphic novel of the 1990s, Epileptic is author David B.'s story of his brother's battle with epilepsy, but it turns into a penetrating and sometimes lacerating self-examination on the author's part, as he delves into his own complex emotions and his family's troubled history, as well as his own youthful fantasy life. Particularly pointed in his description of the family's journey from one attempted cure to another, the book is drawn in David B.'s spare but detailed, straightforward but elegant style. One of the most extraordinarily well-received graphic novels in France and the winner of the French national cartooning award "Alph'Art."
