<h2><em>I Always Think It's Forever: A Love Story Set in Paris as Told by an Unreliable but Earnest Narrator </em></h2><p>A sweeping, unique graphic memoir about an artist’s year abroad in Paris and how it gave way to an all-encompassing love affair and crushing heartbreak as he wrestled with trauma, masculinity, and the real possibility of hope.</p><p>Renowned graphic artist Timothy Goodman planned to do what every young artist dreams of and spend a year abroad in Paris. While there, he fell in love in a way he never had before. For the first time in his life, he let himself be loved and finally, truly loved someone else. But the deeper the love, the more crushing the heartbreak when the relationship eventually fell apart, forcing him to look inwards. He confronted traumas of his past as well as his own toxic masculinity, and he learned to finally show up for himself.</p><p><em>I Always Think It’s Forever</em> is a one-of-a-kind graphic memoir that chronicles it all—the ups, the downs, love lost, and love found—all in the bold illustration style Goodman is best known for, with poetic prose and handwritten wording to accompany the artwork with a touch of humor added as well. It’s a glimpse inside the heart and mind of a man, first focusing on the time Goodman spent in Paris, including diary entries relating his experiences learning about French food, culture, and language. This touching memoir also explores the painful break-up just six months later in Rome. Goodman artfully describes his attempts at learning to love himself in the end, his scars, cuts, warts, and all in a way no book ever has before.</p><p><strong>Timothy Goodman </strong>is an award-winning artist, graphic designer, author, and public speaker. He’s the author of<em> I Always Think It’s Forever</em>, <em>Sharpie Art Workshop</em> and the cocreator of several projects including the viral blog and book <em>40 Days of Dating</em>. He teaches at School of Visual Arts, regularly speaks around the world at creative conferences, and enjoys sharing his life on Instagram. He lives in New York City.</p><p></p><h2><a href="https://www.brooklinebooksmith.com/book/9781338680294" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>About Brookline Booksmith</h2><p>We are one of New England’s premier independent bookstores, family-owned and locally run since 1961.
