Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this
talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In her
forthright, thoughtful, and funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes
in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and
lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is
bookended with an illustrated recipe--many of them treasured family
dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original inventions. A welcome
read for anyone who ever felt more passion for a sandwich than is
strictly speaking proper, "Relish" is a graphic novel for our time:
it invites the reader to celebrate food as a connection to our
bodies and a connection to the earth, rather than an enemy, a
compulsion, or a consumer product. A "Publishers Weekly" Best
Children's Book of 2013

During winter break of her senior year of college, cartoonist Lucy
Knisley and her mother embarked on a six-week adventure in Paris to
celebrate milestone birthdays: Lucy's twenty-second, and her
mother's fiftieth, each angst-inducing for their own reasons.
Staying in a small rented apartment with plenty of quirks in the
fifth arrondissement, they surprise themselves by falling into
their new surroundings with an unexpected ease, content filling
their days with visits to the market, cafe, and museums. French
Milktells the story of it all through Lucy's illustrations and
photos. Filled with gorgeously charming drawings and photos of the
sights, smells, and tastes of the City of Light, French Milkwill
make anyone pine for a tall glass of it - with a fondant, of
course.
If you work hard enough, if you want it enough, if you're smart and
talented and "good enough," you can do anything. Except get
pregnant. Her whole life, Lucy Knisley wanted to be a mother. But
when it was finally the perfect time, conceiving turned out to be
harder than anything she'd ever attempted. Fertility problems were
followed by miscarriages, and her eventual successful pregnancy was
plagued by health issues, up to a dramatic, near-death experience
in labour and delivery. Kid Gloves follows Lucy's personal
transition into motherhood, and it also illustrates the history and
science of reproductive health from all angles, full of curious
facts and inspiring (and notorious) figures in medicine and
midwifery.

In her graphic memoirs, New York Times-best selling cartoonist Lucy
Knisley paints a warts-and-all portrait of contemporary,
twentysomething womanhood, like writer Lena Dunham (Girls). In the
next installment of her graphic travelogue series, Displacement,
Knisley volunteers to watch over her ailing grandparents on a
cruise. (The book s watercolors evoke the ocean that surrounds
them.) In a book that is part graphic memoir, part travelogue, and
part family history, Knisley not only tries to connect with her
grandparents, but to reconcile their younger and older selves. She
is aided in her quest by her grandfather s WWII memoir, which is
excerpted. Readers will identify with Knisley s frustration, her
fears, her compassion, and her attempts to come to terms with
mortality, as she copes with the stress of travel complicated by
her grandparents frailty."
