so-so#ReadingResolutions Day 30: The story begins with a genogram or a family tree of two #brothers, Yakov and Izak Halaby and their respective wives and children. More than the story that seemed to lack cohesion for me, it was really the art that made me stop and take notice: the clean panels and the visual narrative that spoke volumes about pain and anger, and just so much rage in those neat lines and monochromatic images. https://wp.me/pDlzr-fe7
Described as the graphic novel memoir response to Joe Sacco's Palestine. Hmmm... We shall see. Meanwhile, pasta overload on a Saturday. Lobster bisque and King Crab squid-ink spaghetti. For our #MiddleEastLit reading theme at GatheringBooks til end of June.
so-soGraphic novel, set when Israel was being created, about family ties and the complications they might bring... Specially when family members are on opposing sides of an issue. It was heartbreaking to read, not only because of the characters but also because of the repercussions of that historical time which still reverberate today.
Did not like the ending, though. #24in48 #readathon #lastbookofthereadathon
