Starred review for Parenthesis

A starred review at Publishers Weekly for Élodie Durand’s memoir of illness and epilepsy, Parenthesis, now out from Top Shelf::

At times, the comic reads like a horror story: Durand’s smoky pencil illustrations are terrifyingly good at evoking the interior experiences… visceral visuals, combined with an unblinking examination of the depths of medical despair—and, in time, recovery—make this haunting work unforgettable.

At Booklist, Terry Hong writes:

Originally published in 2010 and translated into English by ever-prodigious Edward Gauvin, Parenthesis ultimately celebrates “such intense joy from living.”

And Durand herself is interviewed on Christopher Calloway’s Creator Talks podcast.
