Nothing of his I wouldn’t highly recommend. Well, maybe the “But I like it” comp., but fans will still enjoy it. He also had a great 2 part piece about African refugees in Malta (“The Unwanted”) in VQR not too long ago.

Bk, have you read “The Photographer”? (9781596433755) It incorporates comic & photo journalism…another great one.

Really dig your blog, by the way…

I’m finishing up “Palestine” right now, been reading a chapter a night in order to let the material soak in… it IS really cool how Sacco inserts himself into the narrative; far from being a detached reporter, he admits his problematic ideas and relationships to the people he meets in Palestine. My fave example is on p. 141, where after a whole section on women’s rights in the occupied territories, he makes a sexist joke and laughs with some guys. I wish more people were so brutally honest!
