Description

Prix du meilleur album au festival d'Angoulême en 2012.

"Nous sommes donc en Israël ? Ça dépend, au niveau international, nous sommes en Cisjordanie, pour les Palestiniens nous sommes dans les territoires occupés, pour le gouvernement israélien, nous sommes en Israël. Bon, j'ai pas tout compris mais j'ai un an devant moi pour y voir plus clair." Guy Delisle

Avec son dessin faussement simple, il sait admirablement retranscrire l'ambiance et faire partager les sentiments.
