The book's "lyricism is typical of its author, whose best efforts catch you at the margins of the page redoubling your efforts for pleasure, not comprehension."
Eric Bies reviews Simon Armitage's new translation of the epic of GILGAMESH (@liveright.bsky.social).

Love and Desire in Paradise cover
Prestigious publisher Fantagraphics brings this excellent work to North America, overlapping graphic journalism and graphic medicine. Originally published in French, the book brings numerous interviews with Palestinians and Israelis to life as they talk about two universal topics: love and sex. Parent-Rachdi travels between the two regions where she meets with each interviewee in a variety of settings, including a studio, a café, online, and more. Her travels and each of these encounters are brought to vivid life by Deloupy, whose immaculate backgrounds and foregrounds blend perfectly with the traditional comics look of the characters. Readers will spend just as much time admiring Deloupy's attention to detail as they will absorbing the touching and sometimes troubling stories of the interviewees. These stories range from the differing experiences of LGBTQ+ people raised in Palestine and Israel, to a single man using a service to be paired with a woman to "coparent" with, to a woman who conceives a child with her imprisoned husband through the clever smuggling of contraband-each story is an exercise in inspiration and examining societal expectations. Heartbreakingly, each of these interviews was conducted before the deadly attacks of October 7, 2024, and the reader learns in the epilogue how the subjects' lives have changed. This is a stunning work that humanizes groups of people so often defined internationally by their conflict. — Jack Phoenix
