500    "Originally published in France in six volumes as 
       L'ascension du haut-mal, by L'Association, Paris, 1996-
       2004. Volumes 1, 2, and 3 were or[i]ginally published in a
       single volume in English as Epileptic 1, by L'Association,
       Paris, in 2002"--T.p. verso 
520    With stunning black-and-white illustrations, a noted 
       cartoonist chronicles growing up with an epileptic older 
       brother. The author charts his complicated relationship 
       with his brother from childhood to adulthood, and the 
       effects of the illness on the entire family 
520    David B. spent an idyllic early childhood in a small town 
       near Orléans, France, but the family's life changed 
       abruptly when his big brother Jean-Christophe was struck 
       with epilepsy at age eleven. In search of a cure, their 
       parents dragged the family to acupuncturists and magnetic 
       therapists, to mediums and macrobiotic communes, but every
       new cure ended in disappointment. Angry at his brother for
       "abandoning" him and at all the quacks who offered them 
       false hope, the author learned to cope by drawing 
       fantastically elaborate battle scenes, creating images 
       that provide a window into his interior life, as well as 
       reliving his grandfathers' experiences in both World Wars 
       through flashbacks. An honest and horrifying portrait of 
       the disease and of the pain and fear it sowed in the 
       family, this graphic autobiography is also a moving 
       depiction of one family's intricate history.--From
