From wandering around Paris and Barcelona between events, to navigating markets in Fez and fleeing tourist traps in Marrakesh, we see glimpses of each place, rendered in Thompson's exquisite ink line. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile desert landscapes and crowded street scenes flow across the pages, the sketchbook is packed first and foremost with people--travelers passing through, the friends and lovers he meets along the way, distant figures of old friends and other cartoonists who freely weave in and out of his subconscious. This expanded edition also includes a new epilogue drawn from his most recent European book tour, including several familiar faces and Thompson's reflections on keeping a sketchbook. \u003ci\u003eCarnet de Voyage\u003c\/i\u003e is a casual yet intimate portrait of a celebrated cartoonist at a moment between works--surprisingly open and candid in his observations and revelations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e is a cartoonist and the author of the award-winning books \u003ci\u003eBlankets\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGood-bye, Chunky Rice\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eHabibi\u003c\/i\u003e.
