{"product_id":"pretending-is-lying","title":"Pretending Is Lying","description":"The first book to appear in English by the acclaimed Belgian artist Dominique Goblet, Pretending is Lying is a memoir unlike any other.\n\nWINNER OF THE 2018 SCOTT MONCRIEFF PRIZE FOR TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH\n\nIn a series of dazzling fragments—skipping through time, and from raw, slashing color to delicate black and white—Goblet examines the most important relationships in her life: with her partner, Guy Marc; with her daughter, Nikita; and with her parents.\n\nThe result is an unnerving comedy of paternal dysfunction, an achingly ambivalent love story (with asides on Thomas Pynchon and the Beach Boys), and a searing account of childhood trauma—a dizzying, unforgettable view of a life in progress and a tour de force of the art of comics.\n\nThis NYRC edition is a hardcover with extra-thick paper, full color throughout, and features new English hand-lettering by the artist.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1681370476\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1681370476.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Goblet, Dominique|Yanow, Sophie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
