Footnotes in Gaza

Joe Sacco (2009)
An excellent, engaging, witty and heartfelt portrayal of the authors expeditions in Gaza in 2002 and 2003 in search of information about a specific series of killings that occurred one day in 1955.
It is a brilliant graphic novel, and the ease with which it is accessible allows the reader to understand more deeply some of the points being made about a region sometimes seen as impenetrable.He asks questions about how reality can be recorded, about conflicting narratives, and about the nature of enquiry whilst simultaneously making an accesible read.
His training as a journalist is evident, and his interviews and work draw upon similiar themes to that in Palestine.
Well recommended.
