Ish
An evocative and contemplative collection of short comics from cartoonist Adam de Souza, ish explores the complicated nature of grief through a series of loosely connected vignettes. Each brief glimpse brings another layer to the nuances of healing--from the deep muck of despair to unexpected joys--all told with care and thoughtfulness that shows through the page.

Praise for this book
"Adam de Souza is a master at grabbing hold of a thread and weaving it through a patchwork of different voices, settings, and anxieties. His work makes for a wonderful compilation of comics that is striking and poignant." - Elle Shivers, The Sucker
"De Souza's fragmented but emotionally coherent comics debut delivers an unusually poignant collage of grief." - Publishers Weekly
"The succinctly titled ish presents a series of deceptively simple yet satisfyingly dense narratives reflecting on grief, loss, nostalgia and quiet joy." - Chris Kuzma (Lunchquest)
"De Souza creates for intrepid readers comfortable with ambiguity." - Terry Hong, Booklist
"Ish is tender: with your feelings, with you, with itself. An examination of loss and the space surrounding it, Ish cradles you carefully, its almost-oversized pages giving de Souza's work room to be and breathe." - Jules Brown, Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Best of 2022
