Description: "The first half of French cartoonist David B. ' s astonishing L'Ascension du Haut Mal appeared in English a few years ago, but this is the first time the whole book has been translated, and it's one of the greatest graphic novels ever published. Epileptic is a memoir of B. ' s evolution into an artist, how learning to re-envision and recreate the world with his eyes and hands became his escape route from the madness and disease that might have destroyed him. B. ' s family becomes involved with the shady alternative medicine world in France circa 1970 in an attempt to help his epileptic, unstable older brother. What B. Picks up from that culture, from the military history he obsesses over and from his brother's cruel delusions is the raw material of his art: his stylized bodies and objects, which look like woodcuts and urn drawings, and especially his constant conflation of physical reality and symbolic value. With B. ' s parents consumed with finding a cure, and his brother's quality of life deteriorating, B. ' s dreams of a normal childhood are constantly undermined by his brother's illness, to be replaced by a waking and dreaming life filled with demons. This struggle becomes Epileptic's narrative core. B. ' s artwork is magnificent gorgeously bold, impressionistic representations of the world not as it is but as he's taught himself to perceive it especially in the heartbreaking dream sequences near the end of the book. B. ' s illustrations constantly underscore his writing's wrenching psychological depth; readers can literally see how the chaos of his childhood shaped his vision and mind."
