A bound mural of words and images unspools via free association doodles of memories and moments, people and places -- a nostalgia wallow really -- from Doucet’s life. It’s like an old-fashioned narrative scroll or moving panorama show, but mostly rando, lacking the purpose, focus, structure, or sheer entertainment value of those works. Admittedly, in the back half a narrative does congeal as Doucet loosely unleashes a tale of stupid love told mostly through endless repetitions of her talking head recounting letters and journals and dreams by way of hard-to-follow word balloons as unstructured and random as everything else in the book. If this weren’t a library book, I’d be tempted to pull the pages free and wrap them around a couple sticks for the full scrolling effect. That little bit of crafting would probably be more satisfying than actually trying to read this thing. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Time Zone J is Julie Doucet's first inked comic since she famously quit in the nineties after an exhausting career in an industry that, at the time, made little room for women. The year is 1989 and twenty-three-year-old Doucet is flying to France to meet with a soldier. He's a man she only knows through their mail correspondence, a common enough reality of the zine era, when comics were mailed from cartoonist to reader and close relationships were formed. Time is not on their side--the soldier is just on furlough for a few days--but the two make the most of their visit and discuss future plans, maybe even Christmas in Doucet's city, Montreal. Based on diary entries from the whirlwind romance, the passion and high emotions of youth--before you know the limits of love, before you know the difference between love and lust--seep through the pages. In contrast to the tryst, Doucet draws herself today, at fifty-five.
"A memoir about an epistolary love affair from Julie Doucet, a comics legend. After years of being in a crowd of men, Doucet compulsively returns to drawing, creating an alternate universe that foregrounds women. The pages of Time Zone J overflow with images pulled from past and present, faces and people that have inspired Doucet across more than three decades of creative work."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

drawn from the bottom of the page upward and on continuous, accordion-folded pages (gutter placement was sometimes a problem here but wouldn't be if it weren't bound as a book) -- this is more of an experimental art zine than a narrative. Very often hard to read and confusing, with lots of stream of consciousness and nonsequiturs.
recommended for fans of Doucet's and people who enjoy really weird zines, but not for casual readers of the mainstream audience. ( )
