About the series
Harvey Pekar and JT Waldman’s Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me is a single-issue graphic memoir from Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, published in 2014. It weaves Pekar’s personal history as a Jewish American with a critical, nuanced exploration of Israel’s past and present. The book stands as Pekar’s final major work, a thoughtful, illustrated essay that challenges simplistic narratives through his trademark blend of autobiography and social commentary.
