2 IGNATZ AWARD NOMINATIONS: Outstanding Collection + Outstanding
Story Foreword Indies Finalist One of the Best Graphic Novels of
the Year - Library Journal Gabrielle Bell returns with a brilliant
new collection of hilarious short stories. From a revisionist Red
Riding Hood, to uncomfortable role reversals, Gabrielle Bell revels
in skewering modern mores with razor-sharp humor and wry
observations. Culled from The New Yorker, Paris Review, and Medium,
including several brand new previously unpublished gems,
Inappropriate collects Bell's best short comics form the last
couple of years.
Gabrielle Bell's acclaimed collection explores a spectrum of human
experience that ranges from the quotidian to the fantastical while
always maintaining reliability. The characters of these stories,
represented with a spare line, are deeply compelling, even in the
finest minutiae of their struggles and triumphs. Culled from
numerous anthologies, Cecil & Jordan in New York collects the
best of Bell's short stories and solidifies her place among today's
top cartoonists. This new softcover edition includes additional
hard-to-find material not previously included in the original
edition. Gabrielle Bell's work has been selected several times for
Best American Comics and the Yale Anthology of Graphic Fiction, and
has been featured in McSweeney's, The Believer, Bookworm, and Vice
magazines. Her story, "Cecil and Jordan In New York," was turned
into a film by Michel Gondry. The Voyeurs was named one of the best
Graphic Novels of the year by Publishers Weekly. Bell's most recent
book, Everything is Flammable, was on multiple best of 2017 lists,
including Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment Weekly, and Publishers
Weekly's Critics Poll. Gabrielle Bell currently lives in Brooklyn,
NY.

"Bell's pen becomes a kind of laser, first illuminating the surface
distractions of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a
deeper reality that is almost too painful and too beautiful to
bear."-- Alison Bechdel, Fun Home, Are You My Mother In Gabrielle
Bell's much anticipated graphic memoir, she returns from New York
to her childhood town in rural Northern California after her
mother's home is destroyed by a fire. Acknowledging her issues with
anxiety, financial hardships, memories of a semi-feral childhood,
and a tenuous relationship with her mother, Bell helps her mother
put together a new home on top of the ashes. A powerful, sometimes
uncomfortable, examination of a mother-daughter relationship and
one's connection to place and sense of self. Spanning a single
year, Everything is Flammable unfolds with humor and brutal
honesty. Bell's sharp, digressive style is inimitable. Gabrielle
