I Am Sorry - by Jack Bender (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

I. Am. Sorry.

From Jack Bender, lead director / executive producer of the TV series Lost along with many other acclaimed shows, comes I Am Sorry--an unexpected and wholly unique take on what it means to be human.

Through the lens of his original paintings, paired with intimate and occasionally satirical atonements, this out-of-the-box book is provocative, raw, and universally relatable. Bender's art illuminates people of all ages and from all walks of life, proposing that perhaps our biggest mistakes are our greatest opportunities to heal.

I Am Sorry is a perfect coffee table book and an extraordinary gift.

Review Quotes

"This is great and original work." --Stephen King

"We live in a time when even apologizing has become politicized, but leave it to Jack Bender to find the humanity and beauty in three simple words. Equal parts hilarious, profane, and profound, this book is one I can guarantee that you will NOT be sorry to have read." --Damon Lindelof, cocreator of Lost and creator of The Leftovers and Watchmen

"I Am Sorry is the latest gem from my favorite artist, whose illustrations tell entire stories that will amaze you. A necessary book." --Mary-Louise Parker, author of Dear Mr. You and Golden Globe, Emmy, and Tony award-winning actress

"Jack Bender, in his inimitable style, turns a plaintive refrain into a vibrant and moving apologia. I Am Sorry is both brilliant art and heartbreaking allegory." --Kate Mulgrew, Star Trek: Voyager and author of Born with Teeth

"Dark, beautiful, intense. The best work yet from one of my favorite visual storytellers." --Brian K. Vaughan, award-winning writer of Y: The Last Man and the Saga comic series
