A CLASSIC GRAPHIC NOVEL, BACK IN PRINT!

My New York Diary is the classic graphic novel by the acclaimed and iconic artist Julie Doucet. In one of the first contemporary graphic novels, Doucet abruptly packs her bags and moves to New York. Trouble follows her in the form of a jealous boyfriend, insecurity about her talent, her worsening epilepsy, and a tendency to self-medicate with booze and drugs.

This second printing of the softcover features new cover art by Julie Doucet!

Praise for My New York Diary

Few artists or writers deal with the hassles and ironies of being female in such novel and bittersweet ways.

The Village Voice

Full of their author's most intimate and painful moments, Doucet's comics bring a depth of humanity and a deadpan humor to a succession of personal calamities.
