Burma Chronicles by Guy Delisle
4.0
I love graphic novels...and I love travel memoirs...and I love travel. I have had Burma on my mind since I was an intern in college and had a activist colleague who was always talking about the insanity of Burma....and a French graphic artist? Must be good. Grabbed a copy in English...and threw it on my shelf. It was definitely worth the wait.
The book is about a man (the artist/author) living as a "stay-at-home dad" with his baby in Burma as his wife works for Doctors Without Borders. While the book takes place in Burma...it is not just about life in Burma, it is also about being a stay at home dad...living abroad...and life.
I enjoyed getting some insight into life there...and also seeing his frustrations.
Read if you want to live abroad in Asia...or if you enjoy graphic novels and travelling through books.
