Description
In this perceptive graphic travelogue, a Canadian cartoonist chronicles daily life in Jerusalem while accompanying his partner, who works for an international medical organization. Through understated humor and keen observation, he navigates the city’s checkpoints, divided neighborhoods, religious traditions, traffic, and uneasy routines, revealing how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict shapes ordinary lives. Moving among Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities, the book offers an attentive, personal portrait of a place layered with history, faith, and political tension. Its clear-eyed drawings and wry storytelling make the complexities of the Holy City both accessible and deeply human.
