# Everything Is Flammable - Hardcover

by **Gabrielle Bell** (Author)

"Bell's pen becomes a kind of laser, first illuminating the surface distractions of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a deeper reality that is almost too painful and too beautiful to bear.-- Alison Bechdel, _Fun Home, Are You My Mother_

In Gabrielle Bell's much anticipated graphic memoir, she returns from New York to her childhood town in rural Northern California after her mother's home is destroyed by a fire. Acknowledging her issues with anxiety, financial hardships, memories of a semi-feral childhood, and a tenuous relationship with her mother, Bell helps her mother put together a new home on top of the ashes. A powerful, sometimes uncomfortable, examination of a mother-daughter relationship and one's connection to place and sense of self. Spanning a single year, _Everything is Flammable_ unfolds with humor and brutal honesty. Bell's sharp, digressive style is inimitable.

Gabrielle Bell's work has been selected for _Best American Comics_ and the _Yale Anthology of Graphic Fiction_, and has been featured in _McSweeney's, the Believer, Bookforum_, and _Vice_ among numerous other publications. Her story, "Cecil and Jordan In New York," was adapted into film by Michel Gondry. Bell's previous graphic novel, _The Voyeurs_, was named one of the best books of the year by _Publishers Weekly_, _Kirkus Reviews_, and _the Atlantic_. She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
