About The Book
A satirical autobiography about a young Frenchman and his hilarious, yet poignant, adventures in the heart of Afghanistan.
It’s 2005. Nicolas Wild is a French cartoonist. He’s broke and about to be homeless. He’s a man without a plan. That is until destiny shows up in his inbox: a paid job… In Afghanistan! In his graphic Travelogue series, Nicolas Wild brilliantly explores the differences between the Afghan cultures around him and his own, as he and his fellow expat friends crash Asura celebrations, avoid the afterlife, and muse on the differences between Christian Easter egg hunts and Islamic penance.

Raves and Reviews
"French cartoonist Wild was on the verge of homelessness when he received a job offer that would take him to Afghanistan. His travelogue explores life in the country with candor and humor, particularly the places where the cultures diverge and, sometimes, overlap. " - Barnes and Noble, "The Best Comics & Graphic Novel "“Exuberant. . . . a textured travelogue that mixes the open drawing style and self-mocking voice of Guy Delisle with a cynical, Rajiv Chandrasekaran–like takedown of insular war zone expat life.”" - Publishers Weekly
