Everywhere Antennas

Julie Delporte's graphic novel follows a woman struggling to balance the demands of modern technology with the need to find meaningful relationships and work.

Julie Delporte

Everywhere Antennas is a deeply affecting, sparely constructed novel. Told in the first person, it offers diary-like entries from an anonymous narrator who is undergoing a nervous breakdown and struggling to hold together a failing relationship. In soft, flowing coloured pencil, Delporte shows her narrator coming to terms with a rare and misunderstood sensitivity to the radiation emitted by the televisions, cell phonesand computers that permeate urban life.

Everywhere Antennas is the portrait of a woman caught in the margins, struggling to balance the demands of technology and modern life with the need to find meaningful relationships and work. (FromDrawn & Quarterly)
