"I am in awe of this sharply drawn story of a young cartoonist weathering two troubled relationships-with his roommate and with God." -David Chelsea, author of Sleepless and Everybody Gets It Wrong! and Other Stories "Literacy is next to godliness in Jacob's Apartment, a frank and melancholy portrait of two souls in search of meaning." -Maggie Thrash, author of Honor Girl "Joshua Kemble's storytelling packs a terrific visual punch perfectly suited to the emotional wringer his characters go through in Jacob's Apartment." -Alex Robinson, author of Box Office Poison and Tricked "An expertly paced and deeply felt story about a crisis of faith, dreams, complicated love, and the ways our childhood selves haunt our adult lives." -Theo Ellsworth, author of Capacity and Secret Life
