Aprašymas

"At the end of the millennium, news broke that the circus was in Mile End... It was a space where magic could be created."
—From the introduction by Heather O'Neill

Fifteen years after its original publication, Mile End returns in a new anniversary edition featuring a new illustrated epilogue by Michel Hellman and an introduction by fellow Mile Ender Heather O'Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads.

In this candid graphic memoir of everyday life in Montreal, cartoonist Michel Hellman deftly blends humour and fantasy to paint a portrait of a community in transition—from a working-class enclave to a gritty haven for starving artists and broke students, and eventually into the city's hippest (and most gentrified) neighbourhood.

Chronicling a pivotal decade of the author's life as he grows from carefree youth to burgeoning fatherhood, Mile End is filled to the brim with charming anecdotes and punctuated by hilarious flights of fancy that know no bounds, creating an essential portrait of a man—and a neighbourhood—in flux.
