Her story, “Cecil and Jordan In New York,” was turned into a film by Michel Gondry. The Voyeurs was named one of the best Graphic Novels of the year by Publishers Weekly. Gabrielle Bell lives in Brooklyn, NY. Praise for The Voyeurs:"As she watches other people living life, and watches herself watching them, 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 "The Voyeurs is the work of a mature writer, if not one of the most sincere voices of her literary generation. It's a fun, honest read that spans continents, relationships and life decisions. I loved it." — Chris Ware, Acme Novelty Library "A master of the exquisite detail, Bell provides a welcome peephole into our lives." — Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker "One of the best things going in auto-bio inflected comics these days." — Art Spiegelman, Maus
