With "My Poorly Drawn Life," Reprodukt presents the most personal book of the great Italian comic author Gipi in German. In it, he recounts his youth and the constant craving for new experiences, touching on drugs, prison, and the pains of love. Without pathos, Gipi offers the reader a deep insight into his soul, sharing fears, doubts, and the darkest moments, as well as those of friendship and happiness. His constant shifts between yesterday and today, between unvarnished truth and unrestrained fantasies, along with the epic complexity and raw power of his virtuoso drawings, make "My Poorly Drawn Life" an event and a milestone in autobiographical storytelling.
