Top Shelf‘s relationship with Jeffrey Brown dates back to almost as far as the company itself – from his stunning debut CLUMSY, through the full Girlfriend Trilogy (UNLIKELY and AEIOU), the comedy of BIGHEAD and I AM GOING TO BE SMALL, the all-ages adventure of INCREDIBLE CHANGE-BOTS and much more. This month, it’s a great pleasure to announce a new landmark: his first autobiographical book in full colour, venturing into the unexplored worlds of family and faith!

“[A] characteristically heartfelt memoir.” — Booklist
After the acclaimed indie film Save the Date and the bestselling all-ages humor book Darth Vader and Son, graphic novelist Jeffrey Brown (Clumsy, Unlikely) returns to the autobiographical work that first made his reputation – with an all-new full-color hardcover!
In A Matter of Life, Jeffrey Brown draws upon memories of three generations of Brown men: himself, his minister father, and his preschooler son Oscar. Weaving through time, passing through the quiet suburbs and colorful cities of the midwest, their stories slowly assemble into a kaleidoscopic answer to the big questions: matters of life and death, family and faith, and the search for something beyond oneself.
