The Lie and How We Told It takes on material that's small in scope
and thoroughly familiar: emotions we've all felt before. On the
other hand, it's got the chutzpah to try and make us experience
those feelings in a whole new way.-- "NPR Books"
The Lie and How We Told It is one of the best graphic novels I've
read in the past two years. ... To see Parrish's work culminate in
such a magnificent graphic novel is both satisfying and
invigorating.-- "Sequential State"
The Lie And How We Told It is a bold and confident statement of
artistic intent that has elevated Parrish into the top tier of
contemporary cartoonists.-- "Four Color Apocalypse"
