Details: Short description The Voyeur is an autobiographical and real-time graphic novel by the well-known comic artist and filmmaker Gabrielle Bell. The book combines episodes from the excellent picture series "Lucky" with new stories set in Tokyo, Paris, Southern France, and Brooklyn, creating an intense, humorous, and very intelligent everyday portrait of the culturally affine and educated middle class of the 30+ generation. "A comparison of Gabrielle Bell to early Woody Allen is by no means far-fetched here." Der Tagesspiegel "Bell's razor-sharp view of her own life and social events is expressed in her concise drawings and clever comments. With depth and artistic distance, she describes a life that, despite its specificity, offers many points of connection for identification and self-discovery." AVIVA Berlin "Author Gabrielle Bell succeeds very skillfully in capturing the feeling of life of an entire generation in her work. [...] it's also a lot of fun as a reader to watch the individual protagonists live their lives. So if you've been wanting to play voyeur again for a long time, then let yourself be surprised. Gabrielle Bell's stories are among the most honest things we've seen in recent months." zuckerkick.de "Gabrielle Bell doesn't exactly treat the heroine of her comic with kid gloves. She shows her with all her quirks, psychological tricks, narcissism, and insecurities. An interesting detail here: she herself is the heroine." Missy Magazin About the author and other contributors Gabrielle Bell, born in London in 1976, now lives in New York and is considered one of the outstanding narrators of the American independent scene. Her autofictional short stories paint a picture of a surreal everyday life shaped by self-doubt and existential fears in the North American metropolis.
