Clumsy
By Jeffrey Brown
232 pp., 7.5x4.5, paperback, perfect bound
From the publisher: Clumsy is Jeffrey Brown's debut work; a book praised by Chris Ware and hailed by James Kochalka as his "favorite graphic novel ever." Clumsy is
the bittersweet story of a year-long, long-distance relationship, told
through snippets of everyday life, drawn in a simple and elegantly
awkward style that heightens the emotional impact and leaves you
reminiscing about your own past love affairs. It also has a lot of sex.
"You can open to any page and find something
unusually bare and honest about these stories. They're surprising, even
though half the moments in the book are ones you've probably
experienced yourself. Hard trick to pull off."
-- Ira Glass, This American Life, NPR
"Funny, sad, and a little embarrassing, Jeff Brown . . . delivers the
look at real life that other forms of 'reality' entertainment falsely
promise."
-- Andrew Arnold, Time
