True stories.
Çà et Là, 2019. In-8 broché, couverture couleurs. Cases en noir et en couleurs.
"Derf Backderf a réalisé des strips hebdomadaires pendant près d'un quart de siècle, entre 1990 et 2014. D'abord diffusés dans les journaux gratuits de la ville de Cleveland, ces strips atteindront par la suite jusqu'à 140 journaux du pays. Voici 200 de ces histoires rassemblées pour la première fois en un unique volume. Dans True Stories, on croise des illuminés en tous genre, pris sur le vif dans la rue ou dans des magasins, des scène du quotidien qui font mouche. True Stories, c'est l'Amérique profonde, dérangée, saturée de malbouffe, foutraque. On retrouve avec bonheur la patte de cet auteur dont le dessin, en construction au début des années 1990, évolue au fil des histoires, et cette faculté à déceler les situations baroques et à croquer des personnages marquants, alliée à un art consommé de la chute. " Oui, tout ce qui est dans ce livre est réellement arrivé. J'ai été personnellement témoin de la plupart de mes True Stories. Les autres m'ont été rapportées par des amis en lesquels j'ai confiance. Devoir réaliser un strip chaque semaine ne me manque pas vraiment. Ce qui me manque, c'est de me balader dans les rues de la ville à la recherche de gens bizarres. Ca a toujours été ce qui me plaisait le plus dans ce boulot " Derf Backderf."

Writing ?True Stories? Historians and Hagiographers in the Late Antique and Medieval Near East,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, XI+230 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503527864.
A new interdisciplinary look on the relations between historiography and hagiography in the multicultural context of the late antique and medieval Middle East. The papers in this volume examine the interaction between history and hagiography in the late antique and medieval Middle East, exploring the various ways in which the two genres were used and combined to analyse, interpret, and re-create the past. The contributors focus on the circulation of motifs between the two forms of writing and the modifications and adaptations of the initial story that such reuse entailed. Beyond this purely literary question, the retold stories are shown to have been at the centre of a number of cultural, political, and religious strategies, as they were appropriated by different groups, not least by the nascent Muslim community. Writing ?True Stories? also foregrounds the importance of some Christian hagiographical motifs in Muslim historiography, where they were creatively adapted and subverted to define early Islamic ideals of piety and charisma. Languages : English, French.
