# The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye - Hardcover

by **Sonny Liew** (Author)

**_NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLER - From a bestselling graphic novelist comes "a hugely ambitious, stylistically acrobatic work" (_The New York Times Book Review_) that brings us on a uniquely moving, funny, and thought-provoking journey through the life of an artist and the history of a nation.  
**  
Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s, Chan has been making comics in his native Singapore since 1954, when he was a boy of 16. As he looks back on his career over five decades, we see his stories unfold before us in a dazzling array of art styles and forms, their development mirroring the evolution in the political and social landscape of his homeland and of the comic book medium itself.

With _The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye,_ Sonny Liew has drawn together a myriad of genres to create a thoroughly ingenious and engaging work, where the line between truth and construct may sometimes be blurred, but where the story told is always enthralling.
