In a single sketchbook, working directly in ink, he began recording his memories of a recent long-distance relationship, matching the emotional frailty of the young lovers with painfully honest writing and art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs that book, \u003ci\u003eClumsy\u003c\/i\u003e, struck a chord with readers and spawned the follow-ups \u003ci\u003eUnlikely\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAny Easy Intimacy\u003c\/i\u003e, Brown's work proved a watershed for the emerging form of the graphic memoir. Chronicling the awkward mess of romantic relationships in unsparing and explicit detail, these works also reflect the fragmentary nature of memory, the risk of opening ourselves to pain, and the giggly rush of falling in love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow collected into one volume for the first time, this \u003ci\u003eRelationship Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e is a bittersweet reminder of the everyday joy, heartbreak, and humor that -- despite everything-- keep us coming back for more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollects \u003ci\u003eClumsy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnlikely\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore he became known for his bestselling \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e books such as \u003ci\u003eDarth Vader and Son\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJedi Academy\u003c\/i\u003e, Ignatz and Eisner award-winning cartoonist \u003cb\u003eJeffrey Brown\u003c\/b\u003e focused on intimate autobiographical portrayals of everyday life and young love.
