While his style and approach have evolved, he has never wavered from taut character studies and incisive social commentary with a focus on humor. He has deeply probed subjects like identity, gentrification, fame, and sexual desire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \"No Hell,\" an angel's tour of the five tiers of heaven reveals her obsession with a haunting infidelity. In \"Raising,\" a couple uses an app to see what their unborn child would look like. Of course, what begins as a simple face-melding experiment becomes a nightmare of too-much-information where the young couple is forced to confront their terrible choices. \"Recommended for You\" is an anxious retelling of our narrator's favorite TV show--a Purge-like societal collapse drama--as a reflection of our desire for meaning in pop culture. Each of these stories shows the inner turmoil of an ordinary person coming to grips with a world vastly different than their initial perception of it. The humor is searing and the emotional weight lingers long after the story ends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeaven No Hell \u003c\/i\u003ecollects DeForge's best work yet. His ability to dig into a subject and break it down with beautiful drawings and sharp writing makes him one of the finest short story writers of the past decade, in comics or beyond. \u003ci\u003eHeaven No Hell\u003c\/i\u003e is always funny, sometimes sad, and continuously innovative in its deconstruction of society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Deforge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770464352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770464353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2021 pg. 34","brand":"Michael Deforge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055166091519,"sku":"9781770464353","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d11d63e3-d072-4f5a-985b-4774695b85ef.jpg?v=1685034167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heaven-no-hell-michael-deforge-9781770464353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
