Widely acclaimed in European comics circles, the work of Dominique Goblet, a francophone native of Brussels, at long last receives an English language translation by Sophie Yanow in this beautifully produced New York Review Comics edition of Pretending Is Lying. Produced over a period of roughly a decade, the artwork is highly expressive, deeply personal and embodies a variety of techniques and materials that indicate the passage of time, shifts in perspective and consequent changes in approach. Pretending Is Lying is a work that you not just simply read, but experience.
