A sixteen-page appendix to the paperback edition lets the reader behind the curtain, revealing intimate process sketches from Delisle's time in Jerusalem. Drawing from his experience at animation studios in China and North Korea, Delisles graphic novels Shenzen and Pyongyang depict these two countries from a Westerners. Delisle has worked for numerous animation studios around the world, including CinéGroupe in Montreal. When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle's drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Born in Quebec, Canada, Guy Delisle studied animation at Sheridan College. It eloquently examines the impact of conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays. Jerusalem explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many.
