I am Nadia Khayari, a cartoonist and a drawing teacher at the Higher Institute of Arts in Tunisia, owning an art gallery and contributing to the renowned magazine «Sine Mensuel». During the Tunisian revolution, I documented events through Willis drawings shared on Facebook, attracting over twenty thousand followers in a few months. I was awarded the Honoré Daumier Prize. **** I am Willis under Nadia's identity ... I see through her eyes, think with her mind, and speak her name *** Nadia and Willis have thoroughly chronicled Tunisia’s revolution since its inception, event by event, day to day. Together, they confronted the president and his minions, the authorities and their associates, oppressive thieves, fugitives, and even reckless and lazy rebels. This confrontation persists... The three taboos: politics, religion, and sexuality are Nadia's and Willis's favored topics, approached with biting sarcasm, making us laugh until we cry, or cry until we laugh. It's the hysteria we experience in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, and beyond... It’s the Arab Spring with all its seasons, lightning, and thunder. "Willis from Tunisia" is a cartoon book, more like ideas depicted in caricatures.. and words to ponder, sometimes recede.. but always provoke laughter.. or a smile. If this doesn’t happen, wait for Willis to shout it out: Meow! Publishing house: The Publications Distribution and Publishing Company Number of Pages : 128 Year of publication : 2012
