Loved and Lost: A Relationship Trilogy: (Clumsy, Unlikely, Any Easy Intimacy) Paperback – Picture Book, June 14, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Twenty years ago, young painter Jeffrey Brown grew frustrated with the expectations of the art world and wanted desperately to make something real. 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.
As that book, Clumsy, struck a chord with readers and spawned the follow-ups Unlikely and Any Easy Intimacy, 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.
Now collected into one volume for the first time, this Relationship Trilogy is a bittersweet reminder of the everyday joy, heartbreak, and humor that — despite everything— keep us coming back for more.
Collects Clumsy, Unlikely, and AEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"An extremely impressive debut, full of all the things that make a story good — doomed relationships, embarrassing personal details, and the insatiable need to put it all down on paper." — Chris Ware, author of Jimmy Corrigan and Rusty Brown
"You can open to any page and find something unusually bare and honest about these stories. They're surprising, even though half the moments in the book are ones you've probably experienced yourself. Hard trick to pull off." — Ira Glass, host of This American Life
"Mr. Brown seems to understand perfectly the day-to-day rhythms of the modern 'young adult' relationship... pretty much impossible to put down." — Daniel Clowes, creator of Ghost World and David Boring
"An unmediated, raw and immediate account, [which] rings so very, very true that I cannot imagine it not speaking, directly and movingly, to anyone who has ever loved and lost." — Neel Mukherjee, The Times (UK)
"Jeffrey Brown’s work is charming and fantastic." — Whitney Matheson, USA Today
"Funny, sad, and a little embarrassing, Jeff Brown... delivers the look at real life that other forms of 'reality' entertainment falsely promise." — Andrew Arnold, Time
"A million little brilliant and honest moments are sewn into the rough panels." — Wil Moss, NewCity Chicago
"Jeffrey Brown's work is not precious, broken-heart type stuff, but instead renders the terrific blanches and indelible happiness one can inflict upon another." — Jennifer Przybylski, Rain Taxi
"Brown is a consummate storyteller, with a mixture of believable dialogue that carries both wistful romance and casual cruelty blending with simple artwork that conveys a wide variety of emotions and actions." — Randy Lander, The Fourth Rail

About the author
![Jeffrey Brown](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/S/amzn-author-media-prod/1kf8ev5tpps9lhokpocdlem0c4._SY600_.jpg)
Jeffrey Brown is the best selling author and illustrator of the middle grade Jedi Academy series as well as the Darth Vader and Son series. When he was a kid, Jeffrey always dreamed of growing up to draw comics and make books for a living - and now he’s living that dream! Jeffrey has written a number of autobiographical books for adults, humorous graphic novels about cats, and parodies like Incredible Change-Bots. His middle grade series Lucy & Andy Neanderthal was 40,000 years in the making, telling the story of a kid sister and brother living in the Stone Age, along with real research into life in prehistoric times. He also paid tribute to all the great teachers he's had with the picture book My Teacher Is A Robot.
Currently, Jeffrey is blasting off into space with his new middle grade series, Space-Time! The first book, Once Upon A Space-Time!, follows Petra and Jide, two human kids who get to take a trip to Mars, where they meet aliens and robots - and get ready for a galactic adventure with minimal adult supervision!
Each volume of Space-Time! will also include an all new Lucy & Andy Neanderthal short story!
