Exit Wounds by Rutu Modan

4.0

An intriguing and haunting story that follows in the tradition (or what I've read) of Tomine's Optic Nerve, #9-11 notably. We probably have all met a Koby in our lives, someone who reeked of thwarted hopes and such deep-rooted frustration and anger, but few authors - I would say specifically novelists - bother much with these types of characters. Exit Wounds is not only beautifully drawn, but conjures sympathy for the type of person we never try to sympathize with. A heartbreaking, brave effort.
