When MONSIEUR JEAN first appeared in the pages of DRAWN & QUARTERLY the series instantly became one of the most popular in D+Q's history, drawing enthusiastic reviews from readers. Now for the first time D+Q is publishing all the early stories from this series collected together in a handsome volume. Here, we follow one man's life through his bachelorhood in his 20s and early 30s and along the road to impending responsibilities: marriage, kids, and deadlines for his publisher. Written with a sophisticated wit and charm that is a welcome addition to North American comics and drawn in a clear-line New Yorker style, GET A LIFE promises to be one of D+Q best books of the year.
