after reading a few of her works it feels like me and julie are friends
Relecture, en 2017 :
Il y a une retenue rafraichissante dans la façon qu'a Julie Delporte de raconter ses chagrins -- c'est peut-être le format du journal qui, comme elle l'écrit, force à simplifier, à condenser en quelques mots des abîmes de pensées. On a l'impression d'entrer dans sa tête sur la pointe des pieds, & de repartir sans rien lui avoir volé.
Première lecture, en 2014 :
Doux & triste & joliment pudique. Donne envie d'aiguiser ses vieux prismacolors & de faire le croquis de ses journées dans un cahier au papier bien épais.

Quand je lis Julie Delporte je pleure beaucoup. Comme si, sans le savoir, je m'étais cachée dans ses mots. Je la lis et je me retrouve. Je lui dis merci en secret.
A beautifully-drawn memoir of heartache, relocation, and depression. I love Delporte's work and to see her in color here is a treat. I like her cool colors the best, especially the natural world, plants and animals.
Her words are few but the way she melds meaning with language and art is something I wish I could do myself - but I Can't draw. To be both talented at both these things, and know they are also healing, is fortunate indeed. There are so many gems in here. They're to be savored, maybe even one page a day. I especially love when she says "I read a lot. It's one way to feed myself."

"What is the purpose of pictures we take in the past? What was the point of looking at ourselves, three years later when we thought everything would last forever? (this book has no page numbers :c)
It feels weird to rate this book as I find the questions comes up for me as 'How can you rate a book that is so venerable and of someone's emotions?'
Either way, here we are.
This book was very venerable and full of emotion. As the title suggests, as journals are usually full of venerable thoughts.
Just to clarify this book wasn't disliked by me. It was a neat experience and book to read.
It was also very interesting to see the healing process that the author went through.
How some days were missed in this journal and other days she would write in it everyday.
I will admit since it was a journal and had handwriting for the text, it was hard to read some of the words that were written. So you would have the letter 'A' but sometimes it looks liked the number 2. Don't ask me how, haha. I am not the best at reading cursive.
Overall a neat experience and book to read.
Un beau livre qui se dévore en une journée. J'ai adoré le style artistique, les choix des mots. C'est doux. C'est authentique et intime. Par moment on se fait rappeler qu'il s'agit d'un vrai journal, des mots rayés, des mots changés. J'ai bien aimé malgré ne pas avoir autant connecté à l'histoire, car je ne pouvais me reconnaître, mais je suis contente d'avoir pu lire une parcelle de vie de Julie Delporte.

I love her drawings, use of coloured pencils (not many who can do it well/do it) and writing. She keeps what she's writing about pretty guarded though, so I didn't feel like I could get in deep enough. Her next book seems to be on the same subject, so we'll see what's new.
