Guy Delisle is known for his travelogue comics that document him living in foreign countries for a period of time. Most people seem to recommend his book "Pyongyang", which is about his time living in North Korea in 2003. And although I like that one, the book of his that I like the best is "Burma Chronicles". Guy visited Burma in 2005, because his wife works for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and she was posted to Burma as part of her aid work. And I think that this is one of the reasons why I like "Burma Chronicles" more than "Pyongyang": in this book, we see how Guy also has to be a husband, and a father to his baby son. The book is structured as a lot of little vignettes, that show various aspects of his life as an ex-pat visiting a developing country. There are sections of the book that cover everything from house-hunting on the Burmese real estate market, dealing with the intense tropical heat – as well as the frequent power blackouts that kill the lights and the air conditioning. As well as these domestic things, he does a good job of explaining the political reality of life under a military dictatorship. Such as the way that the magazines that are sold in Burma are censored. As a cartoonist myself, I am jealous of Guy’s artwork. It’s so deceptively simple, with a sketchy feel to it. But I find it so effective for conveying his whimsical storytelling style. It reminds me that cartoonists don’t have to be so pedantic about accuracy. Sometimes the sketchy stuff is more evocative than photo-realistic copies.
