![]() ![]() Delisle is not religious, and his lack of identification with any of the religions of Israel allows him to comment freely on all of them. Like MSF, Delisle’s perspective tends heavily in favor of the Palestinians, particularly those killed in the bombings of Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, which took place during his year there. His experiences are recorded in vignettes that touch on such topics as the wall that separates Palestinian and Israeli territories, the problems of airport security, and the very different tours visitors receive depending on the perspective of their guides. With his wife, who works for Doctors Without Borders (Medecins sans Frontières, MSF), and their two young children, Delisle sees Jerusalem and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict with the eyes of an outsider. ![]() Delisle returns to his autobiographical travel format (Burma Chronicles Pyongyang) with this engaging and troubling look at life in Jerusalem in 20 that won a gold medal for Best Graphic Albumat Angoulême. ![]()
