Reviews
Praise for The Voyeurs: "As she watches other people living life, and watches herself watching them, Bell's pen becomes a kind of laser, first illuminating the surface distractions of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a deeper reality that is almost too painful and too beautiful to bear." -- Alison Bechdel, Fun Home "The Voyeurs is the work of a mature writer, if not one of the most sincere voices of her literary generation. It's a fun, honest read that spans continents, relationships and life decisions. I loved it." -- Chris Ware, Acme Novelty Library "A master of the exquisite detail, Bell provides a welcome peephole into our lives." -- Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker "One of the Best Nonfiction Books of the year." --Kirkus Reviews "One of the Best Graphic Novels of the year." --Publishers Weekly "Best Graphic Memoir."--The Atlantic Wire "One of the best things going in auto-bio inflected comics these days." -- Art Spiegelman
