About the author
Julie Doucet
62 books185 followersJulie Doucet is a Canadian underground cartoonist and artist, best known for her autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary.
Doucet began cartooning in 1987. Her efforts quickly began to attract critical attention, and she won the 1991 Harvey Award for "Best New Talent".
Shortly thereafter, she moved to New York. Although she moved to Seattle the following year, her experiences in New York formed the basis of the critically-acclaimed My New York Diary (1999). She moved from Seattle to Berlin in 1995, before finally returning to Montreal in 1998. Once there, she released the twelfth and final issue of Dirty Plotte before beginning a brief hiatus from comics.
She returned to the field in 2000 with The Madame Paul Affair, a slice-of-life look at contemporary Montreal which was originally serialized in Ici-Montreal, a local alternative weekly. At the same time, she was branching out into more experimental territory, culminating with the 2001 release of Long Time Relationship, a collection of prints and engravings. In 2004, Doucet also published in French an illustrated diary (Journal) chronicling about a year of her life and, in 2006, an autobiography made from a collage of words cut from magazines and newspapers (J comme Je).
In 2007, Doucet published 365 Days, in which she chronicles her life for a year, starting in late 2002.
After a long hiatus, Doucet came back to publication with Time Zone J (2022).

C'est du lard. Du grand génie. C'est un peu ce qu'il se passe dans ma tête notamment la partie "si j'étais un homme" j'ai même rêvé que je co-écrivais cette bédé. Oh attends...Je rêvais un rêve rêvé par l'auteure.
Les expressions québécoises viennent s'ajouter au drôle de graphisme et aux dialogues à l'imprévisibilité parfois féroce.
Julie Doucet, juste... merci.

C'est le deuxième ouvrage de Julie Doucet auquel je donne une chance, mais je peux maintenant affirmer que son travail n'est définitivement pas mon genre.
