I don’t have live updates right now, but here’s what’s reliably known about Guy Delisle and his recent work up to early 2026.
Latest book highlights: Delisle’s recent major work includes Hostage, which recounts a 1997 kidnapping case involving a Doctors Without Borders employee in Chechnya. The book has drawn attention for its suspenseful storytelling and documentary feel. In addition, his Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City has continued to receive coverage as a significant late-career project, with praise for its intimate look at life in Jerusalem and its reception at major festivals.[2][3][4]
Awards and reception: Delisle’s Angoulême/ Fauve d’Or-winning works and other festival recognitions have reinforced his reputation for powerful memoir-style graphic novels set in real-world contexts, such as Jerusalem and Hostage.[4]
Tours and appearances: Public appearances and readings have continued around North America and Europe, including promotional events for his recent titles in major cities and festival circuits. A notable profile described his work in the context of a touring author visiting bookstores and comic arts festivals.[2]
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest articles or provide a mini bibliography with publication dates and publishers for his 2020–2026 titles. I can also tailor a quick update for a specific location (e.g., Los Angeles) or a specific title you’re interested in.
