Doug Dubois

Set within the small town of Cobh, County Cork, My Last Day at Seventeen is a powerful and moving coming-of-age tale about the youth of an Irish town. Featuring portraits, spontaneous encounters, and collaborative performances, as well as illustrations by Dublin-based comic artist Patrick Lynch, My Last Day at Seventeen brings together an innovative mix of forms that exist in a delicate balance between documentary and fiction.

A powerful follow-up to DuBois’ acclaimed first monograph, All the Days and Nights, this book provides an incisive examination of the uncertainties of growing up in ireland today, while highlighting the unique relationship sustained between artist and subject.
