After chronicling his time in China, North Korea and Burma, cartoonist Guy Delisle is now taking on the Holy Land.
During a year spent living in Jerusalem, Delisle - whose wife is an administrator at Doctors Without Borders - took care of his children, explored, sketched and experienced the diverse cultures there.
The result was the brick-like graphic memoir "Jerusalem," which won Best Album this year at the Angouleme International Comics Festival. It features countless short stories that build a compelling narrative of his experience in Israel, from serious political and religious machinations to charming moments with the author and his family.
