Deogratias is just a teenager when he experiences genocide in Rwanda with the tale unfolding only before and after the massacre revealing the madness and horror of one young boy and his country.

Deogratias: A Tale of the Rwandan Genocide | Stassen

pick

A graphic novel worth it just for the 15 page intro to the history of the Rwandan genocide.

The events of 1994 are witnessed through the eyes of a young man as he navigates the horror.

It takes place through flashbacks which were hard to follow at times.

Yet your attention is rewarded by a heartbreaking story, beautifully and hauntingly drawn. It sticks with you, as well it should.

Deogratias, A Tale of Rwanda | Stassen, Alexis Siegel

I need to be better about reading in translation, and when it comes to a genre (horror) in which I already read very little, I had read reach to other genres. I'm not sure how much more horrifying it gets than the Rwandan genocide. More than just a history lesson, Deogratias provides a strikingly personal experience of the war. #AllHallowsRead #ScaryReadinTranslation
