Why a Booktrail?
1990s: a cultural road map of contemporary Jerusalem.
Jerusalem – Chronicles from the Holy City
What you need to know before your trail
In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays.

When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle’s drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle’s mastery of the travelogue.
Guy Delisle has worked all over the world as an animator and wherever he goes, he describes his experiences in the form of a comic book.
