Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq by Sarah Glidden
2.0
Really lovely art but frustrating in a way -- like another book we've read for this book club (True American), it felt like it was Trying To Say Things but it didn't actually Say Them.
Also, from a graphic novel standpoint, I'm curious as to why the art was so non-varied. There were very few full-page spreads and the book mostly stuck to a "three panels per strip, four strips per page" format. Glidden is clearly a talent with watercolors (hence "really lovely art" above!) but it seems like she could've done more there.
