☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis graphic novel collects Guy Delisle's travelogue chronicling his year-long stay in Burma (Myanmar) with his wife and young son. Delisle documents the daily life, political tensions, and cultural quirks of the isolated country under military rule, blending personal anecdotes with sharp observational humor. The book offers a nuanced, understated portrait of a nation navigating censorship and repression through the eyes of an outsider.
In Burma Chronicles, Guy Delisle offers a quietly observant and deeply personal account of the year he spent in Burma, where his wife worked with Doctors Without Borders. Balancing fatherhood, cultural curiosity, and the quiet frustrations of isolation, he sketches daily life, shares lessons in cartooning, and navigates the subtle barriers of trying to connect with an Australian expat community. Drawn with Delisle’s signature dry wit and meticulous detail, the story unfolds through his own words and artwork—both interior and on the cover—capturing a moment of quiet resilience in a place shaped by silence and restraint.
